Our Solutions

Open Enrollment vs. Custom Training (Custom Tailored Training Solutions)

LMA partners with more than 1600 clients across Australia and New Zealand, aligning courses, content and delivery methods to best meet their individual training and development needs.

So a key decision is whether you should enrol your participants in an “open enrolment” program, where the LMA course is delivered off-site to participants from a variety of organisations, or create a custom training solution which is more specific to your needs and delivered on-site (“in-house”).

If you’re a new client wanting to trial our proven processes with our Results Guarantee, or an established client enrolling a few participants across multiple courses, open enrolment is your best option.

But if you need to more closely align your training and development outcomes with your specific organisational strategy or current workplace initiatives, a tailored solution will help you meet those objectives for no additional cost per participant.

Whether you choose an open enrollment or a custom tailored training solution, you’ll benefit from our unique development process which delivers:

Permanent behavioural change of participants
Measurable results against pre-determined goals and objectives
Identifiable ROI per participant
