PTP Blog: Blog

If you’ve ever registered or participated in a PTP training, you know that one of the things we do is pressure you to send at least two people from your organization.  I know that it sometimes feels obnoxious and pushy, but we do it for one simple very good reason: our experience has shown us time and time again that when your organization sends two or more people to a training, your ability to take back what you’ve learned and put your new thinking and practice into action is dramatically enhanced.

Whenever possible, we do our best to make it easier for you to send two or more people by providing scholarships.  And, since we can’t always do this, and since you’re sure to be pursuing technology training from places beyond PTP, we’d like to recommend that when you’re budgeting for staff tech training, add a bit more in to send a training team instead of just one person – we’re sure that you’ll see benefits that far outweigh the costs.
