Consider the following aspects when selecting the type of course best suited to your business:

• How will the course meet your particular needs?
  
  
• Is the course tailor-made or does it come out of a book?
  
  
• How far can an open course be tailored and delivered flexibly?
  
  
• Does the trainer/participant ratio match the course's aims?
  

• Is the programme interactive and participatory?
  
  
• Is the programme pratical enough or does it err towards the theoretical or academic?
