(this article is for newly appointed HR and Training Managers who would like to learn information that could benefit their company)

The advantage of conducting your own in-house training is the incorporation of your organizations vision, mission and values being delivered consistently to ensure greater ownership by the management and staff as a whole. 

Here are some information taken from the web for your own learning.

Cost Effective. 
Since training takes place at your location and with your own trainers, there is no travel, no professional fees, no days away, no unrelated expenses. Staff can be trained at an extremely low per person cost.

Flexibility. 
Roll out the training around your organization’s timetables and resources with options like two-hour segments, half-day lessons, or full two day workshop.

Special Focus. 
Every business organization has strengths and weaknesses, threats and opportunities. Public training course must be, by definition, generic. In-house trainers are able to know how to focus on the issues critical to your business and industry. Your time will not be wasted on topics that have no relevance to your business. The focus is on you and your organization.

Participant Interaction. 
Having only your own people on the course will create focus and discussion on the issues that are important to your organization. Everyone must agree on the issues and what is needed to solve them. Getting a good start on this agreement is important to provide the momentum needed to implement strategy for change. This momentum can only be provided if a large percentage of your employees share the training experience.

Impact. 
By having more people attend the training together, its impact throughout your organization will be immediate. It enhances leadership and teamwork amongst your management and staff.

Benefits. 
The in-house trainers having to deliver the training content will feel even more compelled to walk the talk. The in-house trainers will evidently have the opportunity to practice, improve and acquire public speaking and presentations skills. These are invaluable skills required by any organization today.

Empowerment. 
In-House training is a solid investment in the development of your managers, staff and organization. You will have the ability to address specific staff issues, needs or challenges in a non-threatening setting. Most trainers developed a sense of ownership and be well respected by the other subordinates.
