background

ATV Communications are a training consultancy that was formed in 1994, specialising in the areas of design, systems and business software, as well as CRM systems.

Our main expertise is working with creatives in Architectural, Design and Technology industries, where we have more than 20 years’ experience of changing business needs.

The two partners, Su Turner and Terry Hood are experienced designers, both having had roles in sales and management, as well as in design.

Since 1994, many of the software titles we were training then are still being used today, such as Xpress, Illustrator and Photoshop. Over the last few years these have been supplemented by an increasing demand for business and internet software training.

our basic aims

Our aims are to improve the skill levels, competence and performance of our delegates. This will help make them more adaptable and effective in a constantly changing working environment.

training methods

Good software training, like any other training needs to be geared to the specific needs of the people involved. For that reason we normally offer training at your site that is tailored to your specific requirements.

Courses are delivered as instructor-led training with demonstrations and walk-throughs, followed by real-life exercises. The use of overviews and reviews helps improve long term retention.

The training sessions are in groups of up to six people, who are selected to have as similar needs as possible, so that each course can be as specific as possible.

monitoring/feedback

Before the training course is delivered, we use a training needs analysis, to establish the real needs of the delegates. This is essential from the standpoint of both ATV and the client, so that the training is as effective as possible.

Once the training has been delivered, there will be the need for feedback and evaluation of the training, both by the participants and by the trainer.
