Cybercrime, the rising threat SMEs can’t afford to ignore

Cyber breaches are no longer rare headline events. They’re an everyday reality. While the news tends to highlight attacks on banks, retailers, and global giants, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are just as, if not even more, exposed.

Why? Because SMEs are often easier targets.

And make no mistake, the impact of a cyberattack can be devastating, no matter the size of your business.

From organised crime gangs chasing quick profits, to hostile state-sponsored hackers, hacktivists, and even opportunistic “kids messing around,” the result is the same.

Disruption, spiralling costs, and reputational damage that can take years to repair.

“1 in 3 UK SMEs suffered some form of cyber incident in 2024”

Therefore, it’s hardly surprising our Cyber Security and Introduction to GDPR online training courses have become best sellers in recent months.

Ultimately, more and more business are recognising the threat of cybercrime, and are determined to stay one step ahead of the growing threat.

Who’s behind the cyber attacks?

Whose behind the cyber attacks? The truth is attribution is tricky. Knowing who’s behind any attack can be difficult to pin point. Many incidents are deliberately cloaked, leaving businesses guessing, who’s attacking them.

However, recent data paints a clear picture of the most active cyber threats. So, next, lets take a look:

1. Organised crime

81% of cyber incidents investigated by NCC Group were attributed to organised criminal gangs, compared to 13% linked to state-affiliated actors. UK Parliament Committees

“the average cyberattack costs a small to medium sized UK business in the region of £3,398 to £5,001”

2. State sponsorship

The NCSC reported that in 2022/23, 23% of cyber security incidents showed signs of state sponsorship (down from 34% the year before).

However, financially motivated attacks associated with organised crime, are on the rise. Industrial Cyber

3. Blurred lines

This blurring of lines between organised crime and state sponsored actors, makes the threat of cyber attacks even harder to navigate. Euronews, The Guardian

Take, for example, the 2024 attack on Synnovis, a UK healthcare provider, hit by a ransomware and a data theft campaign, from the Qilin gang. A financially motivated criminal organisation, believed to operate with, or at least, the tolerance of the Russian state.

4. Growth in cyber incidents

The growth in cyber incidents can be demonstrated by the fact, from September 2023 to August 2024, the NCSC handled 430 incidents. This number was up from 371 the year before.

Of these cyber attacks, 89 were nationally significant, and 12 classed as critical.

Why knowing who’s attacking you matters

Knowing who’s attacking you matters. Why? Because understanding the source of a cyber attack isn’t just academic. It shapes how you defend yourself:

State sponsored hackers

State sponsored hackers are stealthy, persistent, and often target intellectual property, supply chains, or critical infrastructure.

Organised crime groups

Organised crime groups are profit driven, using ransomware, extortion, and data theft.

SMEs are attractive to cyber criminals, because typically they have weaker defences.

Amateurs or “script kiddies”

Amateurs or “script kiddies” may seem harmless, but even low-level attacks through phishing or misconfigurations can escalate quickly.

Hybrid or unattributed actors

Hybrid or unattributed actors complicate everything, slowing down responses, making insurance claims harder, and leaving you and your business exposed.

Cybercrime, the hard facts for SMEs

Cybercrime is rising fast, and SMEs are disproportionately vulnerable. Here’s the hard facts for SMEs:

1 in 3

1 in 3 UK SMEs suffered some form of cyber incident in 2024.

The average cost

The average cyberattack costs a small to medium sized UK business in the region of £3,398 to £5,001.

£3.4 billion

Collectively, UK SMEs lose £3.4 billion every year to hackers.

$10.5 trillion

Globally, cybercrime is projected to cost $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.

And even if hackers don’t get you, regulators might. Remember all the noise about GDPR compliance?

Well it might have quietened down, but it hasn’t gone away. In fact, it’s ramping up:

Fines of up to £17.5 million

UK businesses face fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of their global turnover.

Only £35.00 for a single licence. Bulk discounts available, get in touch for a quote, or learn more

No business is too small to notice

In 2024 alone, UK organisations paid more than £15.5 million in GDPR penalties. Fines ranged from £7,500 to £750,000, with many levied against firms that thought they were “too small to notice.”

The uncomfortable truth is this: it’s not a matter of if your business will face a cyber or data incident, but when.

And what many don’t realise is that regardless the size of the business, the financial implications can be huge.

Why SMEs are easy targets

Cyber attacks on large corporations may make the headlines, but as the stats above demonstrate SMEs are at high risk.

Whilst large businesses have big security budgets, dedicated IT teams, and compliance officers, SMEs are easy targets.

Many SMEs lack even the most basic cyber security knowledge, understanding and defences.

In fact:

32%

32% of UK SMEs have no cybersecurity protections in place.

52%

52% of SME employees have never received cybersecurity training.

38%

38% of small firms spend less than £100 a year on cyber protection.

Hackers know this, and exploit it ruthlessly.

A weak password, an unpatched system, or one careless click is all it takes.

When it comes to cybercrime, prevention is better than cure. It’s cheaper too.

Most breaches start with human error & the most effective defence is training your people!

Prevention is better than cure. It’s cheaper too

When it comes to cybercrime, prevention is better than cure. It’s cheaper too. Now here’s the silver lining, the most effective defence against cyber attacks is also one of the simplest. Training your people!

Cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls and software. Most breaches start with human error: opening a dodgy attachment, reusing a weak password, or mishandling customer data. The right training drastically reduces those risks.

That’s where our Cyber Security online training course comes in. Tailored for SMEs, it equips your team with practical, jargon-free knowledge they can apply immediately. Each learner earns a certificate, demonstrating your business’s commitment to customers, partners, and regulators alike.

And because cyber risk is inseparable from data protection, we also offer our Introduction to GDPR eLearning course. This course ensures your staff handle personal data correctly, keeping you compliant and helping you avoid costly fines.

Together, these courses deliver an affordable, proactive first line of defence, and unlike cyber insurance, they reduce your risk before disaster strikes.

Take action before it’s too late

Hackers don’t wait until you’re ready. Equally don’t wait until you’ve been attacked. Take action now, before it’s too late.

To be blunt, if you don’t then you and your business are at an increasing risk of a cyber attack, and as a result the significant costs. It’s not just the commercial impact of disruption. Regulators don’t excuse “we didn’t know.” And customers don’t easily forgive a breach of trust.

Investing in training today could save your business thousands tomorrow, and in some cases, save your business altogether.

A visitor attraction with purpose

Set in 100 acres of peaceful countryside, just six miles from Bristol. Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm has grown since its beginnings in 1999 into one of the UK’s leading visitor attractions.

Today, it welcomes over 200,000 visitors each year, and is home to more than 100 animal species. From rhinos and lions, to giraffes and the UK’s largest elephant facility, Elephant Eden.

In April 2023, Noah’s Ark became a registered charity, reinforcing its mission to combine world-class animal care with conservation, education, and community engagement.

Larry Bush CEO, Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm

Conservation & sustainability at the core

Noah’s Ark plays an active role in the European Endangered Species Programme, protecting elephants, spectacled bears, gibbons, and vultures.

As a leader in sustainability, the zoo generates over half its electricity needs through solar panels, biomass, and wind power.

They recycle water, and reuses materials for animal enrichment.

Cafés and shops prioritise Fairtrade and local produce, aligning with its goal to be the UK’s leading “green zoo.”

These choices reflect the same commitment to responsible, sustainable futures that we embed in our own ethos.

Education, inclusion & opportunity

Education is central to Noah’s Ark’s mission. Its accredited programmes link directly to the national curriculum, inspiring young people to live sustainably and care for the planet.

Accessibility and inclusion are equally important. The zoo’s ‘Ark for All’ project has improved facilities, introduced staff training on Dementia and Autism awareness, and expanded mobility support.

These efforts earned Noah’s Ark Gold Awards for Accessible and Inclusive Tourism at both the Visit England Awards and the South West Tourism Awards.

Intro. | Want to start your career

So, you’ve completed your education, and now you want to start your career. Without wanting to be negative, you need to be aware, the UK youth job market is extremely challenging.

On the positive side, in this article we’ll cover an overview of the current landscape. Provide the essential statistics you need to know. And perhaps most importantly, offer actionable advice to give you a much needed edge.

Or, to clarify, and sum up. This article will equip you with insights to help you navigate the tight UK youth Job Market. Gain the competitive advantage, and the ability to outperform your career rivals…

Facing reality: What’s next after your exam results?

It’s that time of year again. Exam results are out! Of course, some will be celebrating their achievements. On the other hand. Unfortunately, others will be dealing with disappointment. But regardless of results, the question remains the same for both. “What’s next?”

If you’re planning to dive straight into the job market, without securing a job or apprenticeship first.

In order to gain the competitive advantage, it’s crucial you recognise the reality you’re about to jump into.

The UK job market is fiercely competitive for young people. Particularly for those aged 16 to 24.

In addition, it’s predicted an increasing number of school leavers are choosing employment over further education this year.

As a result, this fact will add even greater competition to a youth job market already plagued by years of persistently high unemployment rates.

Equally, it’s important to point out, youth unemployment is currently increasing.

The harsh reality: 6 UK Youth Job Market Stats you need to know

So, to help you navigate the youth job market effectively, you need to know what you’re up against. Here are 6 UK Youth Job Market stats, that highlight the career challenges 16 to 24-year-olds face.

1. Over 1.1 million young people are not in employment or full-time education

This figure represents a significant portion of your competition. To emphasise this point, c.1,120,000 individuals who, like you, are looking for a career opportunity.

2. The percentage of 16 to 17-year-olds not in employment or education remains high.

From February to April 2024, 8.2% of 16 to 17 year-olds were neither working, nor studying. Almost unchanged from the previous year.

3. Unemployment among 18 to 24-year-olds has risen.

During the same period, as above, the percentage of 18 to 24 year olds not in employment, or education, increased from 16.4% to 17.8%.

4. Youth unemployment rates are rising.

The unemployment rate for 16 to 24-year-olds rose by 1.6 percentage points compared to the previous quarter. As a result, this fact further demonstrates the increasingly tough youth job market.

5. Youth long-term unemployment is a growing concern.

Long-term unemployment is classed as being out of work for six months or more.

The number of young people currently considered to be in long-term unemployment has risen by 48,000. Reaching 195,000, in the February to April 2024 quarter.

6. The employment rate for young people is a stark 50.5%.

This stat really demonstrates just how dire the UK job market is for young people, looking to start their career. So, brace yourself…

Nearly as many young people are unemployed as those who are employed. A sobering statistic for anyone entering the youth job market.

Gain the competitive advantage in the youth job market

So, in contrast to the negative reality you’re likely to face, now covered.

Next, on the more positive side, we’ll provide insights on how you can gain the competitive advantage in todays extremely challenging youth job market…

Career choices: Consider targeting industries with skill shortages

You may already know the career path you want to take. But if you’re still undecided, don’t worry.

It’s quite normal for people leaving education to feel uncertain about the career they want.

Especially in today’s challenging youth job market.

So, if you’re still undecided, it’s worth you considering focusing on industries that are currently facing skill shortages.

While overall job vacancies in the UK are declining.

In contrast, certain sectors are struggling to find enough people for the jobs they’re desperate to fill.

As a result, these sectors could create potential opportunities for you to gain an advantage.

Rather than become another number added to the already persistently high levels, of UK  youth unemployment stats.

Industries to Consider:

So, if like many people, you’re undecided on the career you want, here’s some industries to consider that could help you get your career started.

Health, Education, & Social Care:

These sectors are in desperate need of skilled professionals. If you have an interest in these fields, targeting them could give you a significant advantage.

Engineering, Finance, & Software Development:

These industries are also experiencing skill shortages, offering more job opportunities than other sectors.

Pharmaceuticals, Aerospace, & Business Services:

Predicted to see headcount increases over the next six months, these sectors could provide a stable, and rewarding, career path for you.

How you can gain the competitive career advantage

Lets quickly recap, before moving on to provide you with guidance, on how you can gain the competitive career advantage.

First, it was important to give you an understanding of the statistics, and what you’re up against, so you’re prepared. Second, suggesting possible industries to target, hopefully, has given you some ideas on careers to think about.

So, next, let’s talk about how you can truly stand out in todays fiercely competitive youth job market.

1. A standout CV:

With the rise of AI in recruitment, your CV must be optimised and formatted correctly, to successfully pass through automated systems and reach a human recruiter. Highlight relevant skills, experiences, and any extracurricular activities that showcase your strengths.

3. Invest in training:

Without experience, gaining industry specific qualifications demonstrates your commitment to a career in the industry, and ability to learn the required skills.

In addition, your career prospects will increase by acquiring a level of knowledge and understanding of key aspects required to work within your chosen industry.

4. Networking:

Don’t underestimate the power of connections. For example, attend industry events. Engage with professionals on LinkedIn, and don’t be afraid to reach out to people, in your desired, field for advice or mentorship.

Final thoughts: Take control of your future

So to conclude. The UK youth job market is tough. However, with the right strategy, you can gain the competitive advantage you need to succeed.

Whether you’re set on a particular career path. Or alternatively, still exploring your career options. Now is the time to take proactive steps.

Remember, there are over a million young people, just like you, looking for work. And to succeed, you need to stand out in a fiercely competitive job market.

Focus on building experience. Invest in learning, to gain industry qualifications. Seriously consider targeting industries with skills shortages, and the highest demand for new talent.

Finally, optimise your CV. After all, it will be one of many submitted to potential employers. So make sure it stands out.

Although in reality, you will face challenges. It’s important to remember – you get out what you put in.

Ultimately, your future is in your hands. Make sure you’re ready to seize opportunities. And take advantage of any competitive advantage you can.

We wish you the best of luck with your career.

UEFA 2024 Football Final

Like me, this Sunday, millions will be obsessing about the UEFA 2024 Football Final. A mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation will fill our thoughts, and inevitably our households. However, plenty of others will be looking for things to do if you don’t like football.

My partner, for example, isn’t really into football. I wouldn’t go as far as to say she hates the beautiful game. But I know, when me and our three boys are watching football, she’d rather not be in the same room.

Lets just say, we can get a little animated!

Things to do if you don’t like football

Unlock your career potential: Harness the power of Personal & Professional Development

In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving job market, the need for continuous professional development has never been more critical.

The job landscape, recently marked by phenomena like the Great Resignation, as just one example, has shifted from a period where talent held the upper hand. Moving now to one where the competition for jobs is intensifying, redundancies are on the rise, and technology possess a significant threat.

Despite these fluctuations, the demand for skilled, adaptable, and forward-thinking individuals remains consistently high. As a result, investing in personal and professional development is key to enhancing your career prospects, increasing job security, earning potential, and helping you stand out in today’s competitive job market.

This article explores some of the key career benefits you can achieve, through investing in your personal professional development. It also highlights why now is the perfect time to take control of your career trajectory through online training courses with certificates.

Why Professional Development matters

Professional development is more than just a buzzword; it’s a necessity for anyone serious about their career.

Here’s why:

“studies consistently show, individuals who invest in their professional development tend to earn more over their careers” 

1. Stay competitive in your field

Continuous learning ensures your skills remain relevant and updated, proving your ability to adapt to new technologies and methodologies. In turn, this makes you a valuable asset to your current employer, and a standout candidate for potential new employers.

2. Career advancement

Earning additional certifications demonstrates your commitment to your profession and career. It shows dedication and readiness to take on greater responsibilities. Therefore, this can be a significant differentiator when securing promotions or new job offers.

3. Increased earning potential

These certificates serve as tangible proof of your skills, and dedication to continuous professional development. They can be added to your CV, LinkedIn profile, and professional portfolio, consequently, helping you stand out in the job market.

It’s important to note that Certificates accredited by recognised industry bodies, and / or educational institutions, provide you with qualifications recognised by employers. As a result, these certificates can significantly boost your credibility, marketability, and ultimately career success.

Intro.

Investing in employee training and development provides numerous business benefits that are far reaching. Infact, the return on investment received makes it a no brainer.

However, as a licenced distributor of online training courses with certificates, if you’re a sceptic, you may think we’ve got a vested interest in pushing the message regarding the commercial benefits of training. Of course, in part this is true. But, don’t just take our word for it.

This article blends our own insights, gained from many years of experience in talent management, with highlights from an article by Forbes, the well known magazine aimed at business professionals, entrepreneurs and investors.

Perhaps, it’s important to point out, Forbes is well recognised as a highly reliable source, that creates accurate and unbiased content.

So, below is a brief summary of why businesses should invest in employee learning. And if you want to read the full article by Forbes, a link to it.

Talent management is an important area to invest in

In business, it’s well known, you have to spend money to make money. Reinvesting in your business, in smart and strategic ways, is essential for staying competitive. And talent management is an important area businesses must invest in.

In recent years the talent landscape has changed.

“An important point Forbes raises, is that failing to invest in your workforce isn’t an option” 

“The great resignation” and “quietly quitting” have become well known phrases, as employees are becoming increasingly disillusioned with their employers.

As a result, some are resigning. Perhaps worse still, others are quietly quitting.

Having become disengaged, they’re going through the motions. Doing the bare minimum, as they quietly quit their current job role.

An important point Forbes raises, is that failing to invest in your workforce isn’t an option. Competitive salaries, good benefits packages and flexibility are all musts in today’s tight job market.

But they’re not enough on their own.

Why businesses should invest in employee training and development

Although it’s important to invest in your full talent management cycle, prioritising employee training and development has added advantages. Truly making it a win-win proposition.

Investing in continued employee learning and development has significant benefits for everyone involved.

So, if you’re not already emphasising employee training and professional development in your talent management strategy, here’s some reasons why it’s time you did.

“For ambitious, motivated individuals, development opportunities are a major selling point”

Attract top talent

Unless you’re the odd one out. Like every company you want to attract top talent. But today’s talent landscape requires companies to do more than ever before, to attract and retain top talent.

High performers are looking beyond just salaries and benefits packages. For ambitious, motivated individuals, development opportunities are a major selling point. They thrive on challenges and continually seek chances to stretch and expand their skills.

By promoting a culture of training and development, you’re providing the message, to high calibre talent, you can offer them a future in your organisation. Career longevity and opportunities for growth.

In summary, high calibre, motivated people, want to reach their potential. And to attract top talent to your company, you should be committed to ensuring they do.

Increase talent retention

Whilst most companies are looking for ways to reduce their recruitment costs, far too many leaders approach cost savings from the wrong way round. Creating a talent management strategy to increase talent retention may cost more upfront. However, it will provide you with a far greater return on investment.

“a culture of learning & professional development sends a clear message. Your company cares about its employees’ futures“

In short, the expense of staff attrition far exceeds the cost of recruitment.

It’s not just the cost of replacing an employee, estimated to be 3x – 5x their annual salary.

You also lose vital organisational knowledge, and suffer damage to your company’s morale.

Losing employees can have a devastating domino effect, resulting in even more staff turnover.

Promoting a culture of learning and professional development sends a clear message. Your company cares about its employees’ futures. In addition, you consider your employees an important part of your company’s future as well.

Continued employee training and development enables staff to see themselves in your long term company vision. Loyalty grows out of this shared expectation of a mutually beneficial future.

What’s most important to point out is the fact. Loyal employees don’t leave.

Staff engagement

Job dissatisfaction and boredom are costing companies real money in lost productivity, employees who are quietly quitting and staff attrition. Staff engagement requires your team to feel their work holds real meaning and value.

Happy and engaged employees deliver better quality work, have higher output, make far fewer mistakes and take less days off sick.

Furthermore, well-trained employees have a greater understanding of how to do their jobs effectively.

And with more positive outcomes, comes even more job satisfaction.

So, inshort, investing in training and development increase staff engagement.

“The business benefits of having a highly engaged team include increased performance, productivity, & profitability”

The business benefits of having a highly engaged team include increased performance, productivity, and profitability.

Develop future leaders

Investing in employee training and development allows you to mold your future leaders to your company’s specific needs and values. Not to mention, creating internal succession plans reduces the cost of external talent attraction, when you need to recruit managers and senior leaders.

“investing in training & developing employees to create a pipeline of future leaders, reduces recruitment costs, allows you to retain, & increase the return on, your investment in staff”

By creating a culture of training and development, you’ll be able to identify potential future leaders early on. Provide them with targeted opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills. As a result, creating a pipeline of qualified candidates, for future opportunities.

Equally important to realise is it takes approximately six months for a new employee to reach full productivity, and twelve months to achieve a return on your investment.

On the other had, developing future leaders internally, who are already equipped with vital organisational information and understanding, has significant commercial benefits. Not only saving external recruitment costs, but also the time and cost of onboarding, whilst new employees reach full productivity.

In short, investing in training and developing employees to create a pipeline of future leaders, reduces recruitment costs, allows you to retain, and increase the return on, your investment in staff.

These insiders are already familiar with the day-to-day operations of your company. They can more easily transition to new roles, building upon previously acquired knowledge and skills.

Equally, by recognising and utilising existing talent, you’ll also empower other employees to push for greater advancement and more responsibility.

Keep your business pointed towards the future

Staying ahead of the curve in today’s increasingly dynamic world is no small feat for business leaders. However, it’s vital to keep your business pointed towards the future. Staying relevant is a must.

Innovation is critical for continuous expansion, and sustainable business growth.

New strategies can improve products. Increase efficiency and reinvent outdated processes.

However, achieving innovation requires your business to have a team with sharp, innovative minds.

Investing in professional training, learning, and development provides employees with exposure to fresh ideas, and creative ways of approaching their current, and future work.

Through continued learning, employees can build knowledge, discover new strategies and techniques, and learn about the latest technological advancements.

Sometimes, the subject learnt is less important than maintaining the ability to learn.

As the scale and pace of new advancements continues to accelerate, those used to continuous learning will have the ability to pick up new skills quicker than those who aren’t.

As a result, they’re well equipped to adapt to future changes, and challenges more easily.

About this case study

This case study covers how our Asbestos Awareness online training course provided our client with significant cost savings.

This included, reducing the cost of the training course, as well as the associated costs. Most notable, the expense caused by the impact to productivity from taking course delegates out of the business for the day.

However, to be candid, the intention of this article is to give you an overview of our client. The assessment process, comparing their traditional training methods to our alternative e-Learning training course, they took.

And most importantly, to give you an overview to see if we can save you money too. If you’re reading this, the chances are that’s what you want to find out as well.

But first, it’s important for a quick overview on Asbestos and the Law.

Asbestos & the Law

Until 2000 Asbestos, probably the most dangerous building material ever, was still widely used in construction.

Notably, the risk of Asbestos is demonstrated by the thousands of people that fall ill, even die, every year from Asbestos exposure.

“regulation 10 of the CAR states every Employer must ensure adequate information, instruction and training is given to Employees who could be exposed to asbestos.

In addition the Law states Asbestos Awareness training must be taken / provided every 12 months”

As a result, there is Legislation and Law to protect people from the risks of Asbestos. The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) applies to all Employers, Employees, Self-Employed persons, and duty holders, and covers all work with asbestos-containing materials.

Furthermore, regulation 10 of the CAR states every Employer must ensure adequate information, instruction and training is given to Employees who could be exposed to Asbestos. In addition, the Law states Asbestos Awareness training must be taken / provided every 12 months.

Our client

So now it’s time to introduce our client. An Engineering company specializing in Renewable Energy. Carbon emissions reduction products, and other environmental sustainability solutions for industrial and commercial businesses.

The business, an SME, have ten in-house engineers. All based in regional territories Nationwide.

Due to the nature of their role, each engineer is required to complete the annual Asbestos Awareness training. Equally important, our client is legally required, as their employer, to provide adequate training.

“when our client discovered we’d added e-Learning to our products & services, understandably they wanted to find out more about our Asbestos Awareness online training course.

More specifically, whether we could reduce the cost of their traditional training”

Traditionally, our client had used a face to face trainer for Asbestos Awareness training.

This meant hiring a meeting room, centrally located for the ease of their regionally based engineers.

Specifically, this approach resulted in the cost of the trainer. Hiring a meeting room.

Providing lunch and refreshments for all the course attendees.

However the most significant expense was the cost to the business, caused by the impact to productivity. i.e. the lost revenue suffered from taking their engineers out the business for a days training.

On the other hand this was still more cost effective than hiring a trainer to do one on one, or smaller group training sessions.

So, when our client discovered we’d added e-Learning training courses to our products and services, understandably they wanted to find out more about our Asbestos Awareness online training course. More specifically, whether we could reduce the cost of their traditional training.

Due diligence

Our Asbestos Awareness online training course was significantly cheaper than hiring a traditional “classroom trainer”. Not to mention the additional savings gained from online training, compared to old school “class room” training.

However given their legal and moral responsibility, naturally our client wanted to do their due diligence on our online training course.

In short, the accreditation’s from the governing bodies endorsing our Asbestos Awareness course, IATP, CPD & IIRSM, differed from their traditional trainers certificates.

So, our client sought expert advice from their external Health and Safety Consultant.

After reviewing the course content and accreditation’s awarded with our Asbestos Awareness online training course.

Comparing it with the previous training providers our client traditionally used.

Our client told us their Health and Safety Consultant’s feedback was…

“The two different training courses are no better or worse than the other.

Both fulfill your Legal obligation & comply with Legislation. So it’s a no brainier!

The Asbestos Awareness online training course is far more cost effective”

“The two different training courses are no better or worse than the other. Both fulfill your Legal obligation & comply with Legislation. So, it’s a no brainier! The Asbestos Awareness online training course is far more cost effective”

As a result, our client booked their 10 engineers on our Asbestos Awareness online training course.

How our Asbestos Awareness online training course reduced costs

So now to briefly sum up how our Asbestos Awareness online training course reduced our clients costs. Most importantly, give you the insight to help you see if we could reduce your training costs also. Let’s break it down.

First of all. In truth, I can’t give you all the specific costs, and therefore cost savings. However, I can tell you this…

Based on the ten engineers taking our Asbestos Awareness annual training course, our client saved £500 on the training costs alone. (This saving included a discount for purchasing a bundle of ten training courses from us.)

Admittedly this £500 alone is not a huge saving.

However, all too often the expense of training extends beyond just the course costs.

“Do the maths.

Our online training course delivered significant cost savings for our client.

Could they do the same for you?”

So, in addition to the initial £500 cost reduction, here’s a short summary of the wider savings our client gained from our online training courses.

Introducing PRS e-Learning Hub

Our latest strategic partnership enables us to distribute expert approved, online training courses with certificates. Learn more

Summary of additional training cost savings

So, on top of reducing the cost of the course by, additional cost savings included:

1. Hiring costs of a meeting room

2. Travel costs of course attendees

3. Cost of food & refreshments for course participants

4. The cost to productivity caused by taking staff out the business for training

In addition to the initial £500 training course cost reduction, the first three additional savings (above) amount to an extra few hundred pounds roughly.

However, the most significant cost saving gained was from removing the impact to business productivity.

In short, our online training courses allowed our clients ten engineers to complete their Asbestos Awareness training course at a time to suit them, and the business.

Unlike their previous class room training, that took the engineers out the business, at the same time, for a whole day.

Ultimately preventing them from working. And the business generating revenue from their activities.

Online training enabled flexibility. Allowing training to be fitted in and around the commercial needs of our clients business. And their engineers duties.

Do the maths. Our online training course delivered significant cost savings for our client. Could they do the same for you?

Following the feedback on our online training course from their engineers, our client has purchased further online training course from our e-Learning hub, to support their business’s training needs.

We’d love to help you save time and money too. To find out if we can reduce your business costs, get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
