Selecting the right training programme for your workforce can be challenging, especially when you're unsure about whether the content or delivery style aligns with the job role.
That’s why we’ve created the Meet the Tutor series. This initiative is tailored to give organisations like yours a closer look at GLP Training’s highly skilled coaches, providing valuable insights into the training they deliver and how it aligns with your organisational goals.
By introducing the people behind the training, we aim to support decision-makers in identifying whether a programme matches the specific skillsets and competencies their teams require to excel.
Chat with Phillip, Our Carpentry and Joinery Tutor
In this instalment, we introduce Phillip, one of our expert Carpentry and Joinery Tutors. Phillip brings years of hands-on industry experience and a practical, learner-focused approach to his training sessions. His expertise ensures that learners gain not only technical skills but also the confidence to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.
To give organisations a better understanding of Phillip’s teaching style and the course content, we captured some elements of one of his practical training session. This session marked the first of two workshops in the Roofing module, which consisted of erecting rafter roofs.
We also took the opportunity to speak with Phillip about his experiences as a Carpentry and Joinery Tutor. He shared insights into his teaching philosophy, his favourite part about the course, and how this training aligns with industry standards and organisational needs. Here's what Phillip shared:
