Fully managed service to meet longitudinal training needs.
Training as a Service TaaS is fully managed, from Training Needs Analysis (TNA) through to Delivery. Modelled after the work Calian has delivered for large scale, multi participant, complex military training operations, Calian delivers the highest quality TaaS program to:
Increase return on investment of people and technology
Incent innovation
Leverages technology, simulation and simulators, analytics and data to create robust learning environments.
Ensure continuous development as a crucial measure of progress.
Share risk and reward.
TaaS is fully tailorable and allows the client to use as much or as little of the Service as is required to meet their needs.
Tailored to Customer Needs
Depending on training needs, funding, time and training resources, Calian can provide a “soup to nuts” solution or work with their trainers to augment their expertise, capacity, software tools, other training resources, etc.
Applicable to all Levels of Operation
Calian TaaS is applicable for all levels of operations, any field of the endeavour, short notice or long term, large or small groups, single or multi-focused training events. The focus is collective learning as opposed to individual learning although we can assist with the latter if required.
Based on Training Needs Analysis
We work through the TNA with client and create the training plan, develop the training including identifying costs, resources and timelines, deliver the training, conduct the post-training activities (PXR, After Action Review, recommended lessons, etc) and provide overall programme management.
Delivering Progressive Training Plans
TaaS is more than a single event. The results of the TNA should describe progressive training and include a training program to encompass all levels of executives, management and workers. The program should be cyclical based on a schedule identified by the client and concluded from the TNA.
