ManagersPitStop

Running a dynamic internet business has meant that training courses have taken a back seat in recent years. ManagersPitStop allows me to refresh my knowledge base discretely at anytime without the hassle of taking time out of the business. The individual modules are interactive and allow you to pick and choose which areas you need to focus on, making the learning process a pleasurable experience. I thoroughly recommend this product to any Senior Manager.

This valuable resource delivers a comprehensive and easy to use people management learning and development tool. In the current economic climate of reducing company training budgets and increasing work pressures, Managers PitStop provides valuable bite sized development for busy managers that can be undertaken at a time to suit the individual. It is a resource I regularly signpost those I come into contact with to as an effective development tool for their managers.

People who work in the education sector have so many demands on their time, taking days out to attend training courses is sometimes easier said than done. I think that the ManagersPitStop web based mini training sessions are the perfect solution for many people, regardless of sector, who find themselves in the same boat. I really like that people can dip in and out of the sessions as often as they like and at times and places they choose.

Our business requires us to be on site most of the time, because of this we usually focus our training time on industry specific technical courses. However recently we were recommended to ManagersPitStop by another company we were working on site with. We decided to give it a try, especially when I saw we could buy a number of user accounts for less than the price of single place on a local one day management training session. We are delighted with ManagersPitStop and especially like that each session is to the point and in plain English.

ManagersPitStop is a fantastic idea. Learning on demand is so natural in today’s environment: I love being in control of my own learning. The content is well thought out and relevant. It gets to the core of what’s going on in a manager’s mind every day.

What a brilliant alternative to traditional short courses for managers. By choosing from the suite of tutorials people can reduce unnecessary training content and focus on learning relevant material for themselves and their business. ManagersPitStop has the potential to save people and businesses a lot of money and make training budgets achieve much more, thank you.

At last, I have found a comprehensive and easy to use people management learning tool.  In a busy work environment and this difficult economic climate it is not always easy to make the time or inclination for learning and development. But now I can do it whenever time is available and not have to spend so much on expensive training courses.  Thank you for the informative and easy to use tutorials.

I am delighted that I was introduced to ManagersPitStop. I have held leadership positions for a number of years and felt confident in many of my abilities. However, taking on a new role as a head of department offered me new challenges, such as interviewing staff, setting clear deadlines and ensuring my team work effectively. There were a number of new areas of management that I knew I could benefit from learning and learning them quickly was essential! The site is easy to dip into but also allows for more in-depth work through the attachments.

The site immediately grabbed my attention because it allowed me to work on a specific area where I felt I needed new ideas and support. The tutorials are quite short, so I didn't need to invest a vast amount of time sitting at my computer, but I was able to process the concepts, reflect on my learning and evaluate my own methods of management. For me, this has been one of the best aspects of the site since I have an excellent mentor to work with. I was able to utilize a ManagersPitStop tutorial as a spring board for deeper discussions during mentoring.

I believe my communication and delegation skills to be my strongest managerial areas, and I have spent much time teaching about self esteem. The tutorials on these subjects were still of interest because they affirmed my self confidence as well as my understanding of these topics. There were still a few items in the attachments that were new to me that I have been able to add to my skills set.

MangersPitStop is more interactive than reading a management book, less time consuming and expensive than attending a managerial seminar. I have learned new concepts, gained practical tools and appreciate there are still more modules for me to work on......

Because our work requires us to be on the road a lot of the time we probably don't get to go to as many management training courses as we would like. ManagersPitStop has been a cost effective and efficient way to help us build our skills.

My schedule is always very full; this limits the amount of time I have to attend training courses I can attend...... I particularly like that the sessions on ManagersPitStop are focused and to the point .......It's now so simple to remind myself of good management practice as and when I want to.

This is a very cost effective and efficient way to teach new management skills as well as refreshing the training experienced managers received a while ago. It also helps people improve their career prospects. We now recommend ManagersPitStop to people we work with all the time.

Easy to access and simple to use, this is a very valuable and accessible resource which I think all managers should have. I think it’s particularly helpful for people who want management training on demand and cannot afford the price or indeed the timings of live training courses.
