What others have said:
The day made it very clear to me how to get the best out of Trainerbase and my subscription. From this course so far I have: Improved the look of my profile and added pictures, Uploaded Resources, Entered Discussions, Revised my Keywords, Revised my Details, Uploaded Programmes and Mentioned Trainerbase in an online forum. I just mention this so that you can get an idea of how valuable I found it and that it was effective for me.

I have been a member for a number of years and thought that £75 might help get some return. What a return on time and money invested! We all know that our output is determined by our input - I was so clueless about the site, I didn't even understand the need to activate my profile nor appreciate what a great marketing tool it is going to be for promoting my business to not only potential customers but to other fellow trainers. I also enjoyed the real world contact with Heather and yourself - thank you both for a productive and energizing day.

CLP and TrainerBase Introduction Days (23rd and 24th January 2009)
These one day introduction days provided members and non members interested in becoming a CLP with an opportunity to see first hand, what benefits the accreditation can bring. Attendees were given a background into TrainerBase and the accreditation which has been specifically developed in order for the Learning Practitioners' Association to recommend training providers to purchasers. The day included facilitated workshops into what constitutes appropriate evidence for the Personal, Operational and Commercial Principles AND an opportunity to be a learning participant in a Candidate's assessment.
This was a rare opportunity to see first hand, from the developers of the Standard for Learning Practitioners and other CLPs, just how beneficial the accreditation can be to your success as a Learning Practitioner.

Membership Workshop (20th September 2008)
A small group of members attended a workshop that gave them a unique insight into the concept behind TrainerBase and greater understanding as to how the system works and in particular their profile.
The workshop was very successful with each member gaining significantly from the advice of Peter Mayes, the creator of TrainerBase.
One participant; Fred Robson commented:
"I have been a member for a number of years and the membership has returned zero work. Having paid out my subscription, I thought that another £75 might help get some return. What a return on time and money invested!
We all know that our output is determined by our input - I was so clueless about the site, I didn't even understand the need to activate my profile nor appreciate what a great marketing tool it is going to be for promoting Matrix Partners to not only potential customers but to other fellow trainers.
I also enjoyed the real world contact with Heather and yourself - thank you both for a productive and energizing day."
