When discussing training and especially Lifelong Learning, we often hear from some of our more mature staff, or those that have worked in the retail industry for many years that training is not really relevant to them. However, we must remember how quickly retail technology has evolved over the years and how our jobs have changed as a result of this. These training programmes offer support and guidance to not only give confidence but can lead to a national award.

A member of the Training Department at CJ Lang and Son Limited would be delighted to carry out a ‘Training Needs Analysis’ of your business and prepare a Training Plan to suit your needs.

Just phone the department to get a list of courses currently available. However, if there is a training need that is not met by of the above courses, we can devise (or source from another Training Provider) one that is applicable.

SPAR Scotland can offer extensive advice on Training or Personnel issue.
