Learning From Experience

We are proud to be supporting the BlueBox Partners CPD conferences, which offer training and education to the Surveying industry on a wide range of topics.

There are two events this year – the first is at Brighouse, which is taking place today, while the Swindon event is being hosted on 11 June.

Members of our team will be attending both meetings and will be discussing the subjects of flooding, environmental impact assessment and digital mapping. There will be live demonstrations of the Promap system, a breakfast briefing that helps delegates earn additional CPD points plus Promap experts will be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions.

Real life examples will be presented throughout the one-day conference, exploring residential valuation, building defects, and dilapidation issues.

Meet the Expert: Nick Mills

In the first of our ‘Meet The Expert’ series, we are introducing Nick Mills, National Trainer at Landmark Information Group, who specialises in training clients on a wide range of our mapping and environmental-based products. 

“Since joining Landmark in 2006, I have undertaken over 1,000 training sessions with well over 2,500 people,” confirms Nick.  “The aim is to provide a detailed insight into how to make the most from our range of tools, as well as refresh experienced users with hints and usability tips.” 

Nick spends a great deal of time working with a broad spectrum of property professionals, including commercial architects and surveyors, and tailors each session dependent on the needs of the group.

“The training courses are delivered in one of four ways: online webinars, 1-2-1 online training, in-house learning or via onsite courses at a client’s office or site.  Over recent months, I have seen a keen uptake in the number of webinars, as clients like us to host lunchtime refresher sessions.”

Promap training is available free of charge and Nick produces each course to meet the individual needs of each and every client.

Concludes Nick; “Every day is different: I get to work with a wide range of professionals that use our systems for varied projects.  I still get a buzz when introducing our systems to new clients, and also showing existing clients shortcuts and tips so they can really make the most of what is on offer.”

Before joining Landmark, Nick was a regional trainer for Patientline.  He has also achieved ‘TAP Gold Accredited L&D Professional’ from the Training Foundation, in addition to TAP Diploma in Learning Facilitation, TAP Gold Accredited L&D Professional , TAP Certificate in Theoretical Basis of Learning and TAP Certificate in Learner Engagement to name but a few.
