Whether the development need is reskilling at the business-unit level or a company-wide aspirational transformation, companies can’t simply push the pause button on critical workplace learning, even as they move rapidly to put employee safety first.
Prior to COVID-19, Financial Training Australia’s delivery style was predominantly face-to-face as we find it maximises learning, engagement and fun. In the current pandemic environment, our services have not been able to continue in the same format. However, we are pleased to announce that we are offering our services virtually. FTA is monitoring the ever-changing situation in Victoria, Australia and internationally, and we look forward to resuming face-to-face learning as soon as feasible.
Our sessions have been restructured and redesigned to better suit the online delivery mode, without compromising on the quality of our education and outcomes. We welcome you to our digital community, where we connect and learn together, no matter where you are.
As always, when engaging with you, we take the time to understand your objectives and ensure the online training meets your specific needs.
Each of our service offerings have been converted to online delivery. Click on each of the service offerings listed below for more information. An example approach to Financial Acumen has been provided below.
An example approach to Financial Acumen, involving a blend of e-Learning and virtual sessions is set out below.
Our partners, Bonanza Education, have a unique approach to financial acumen by using the ‘Visual Language of Finance’ as well as gamification to make the training extremely engaging and fun! It is recommended to cover the fundamentals using this generic approach, and we propose that the completion of this e-learning is a prerequisite and treated as pre-course. It takes 1.5 – 2 hours to complete.
For some, the topic of finance can be viewed as daunting, so this program is helpful to give participants a basic introduction which they can complete at their own pace, thereby instilling confidence, before attending the program. It would also mean that less time can be spent during the virtual session on the basics and more time can be devoted to working with practical examples.
This eLearning could also be offered more widely as a stand-alone program – if you think it could benefit more members of your team.
The e-learning is often followed by a series of 2 hour online sessions, consisting of presentations and group exercises – the latter to be completed in Zoom’s break-out rooms. While the specific details of the design would be tailored to your objectives, there are some example module topics listed below.
We use Zoom Pro as the platform rather than a webinar since this allows for more interaction and engagement. Break-out rooms will be used for group work.
