Managing Contractors Training

Each of our courses ends with a multiple choice test to measure your knowledge of the material.

This Managing Contractors Training course concludes with a 20 question multiple choice test with a printable certificate. In addition, brief in-course questions guide the user through the sections of the training and are designed to reinforce learning and ensure maximum user engagement throughout.

As well as printable user certificates, training progress and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed any time to reprint certificates, check and set pass marks and act as proof of a commitment to ongoing legal compliance.

What does my certificate include?

Your Managing Contractors Training Certificate includes your name, company name (if applicable), name of course taken, pass percentage, date of completion, expiry date and stamps of approval or accreditations by recognised authorities.

Please note if you are using our course content via SCORM in a third party LMS then we are unable to provide certificates and you will need to generate these in your host LMS yourself.

Successful businesses thrive because of their people.

There’s nothing quite like having a group of talented, dedicated, and loyal employees who have built strong working relationships with each other as a result of working together frequently over a long period.

And yet, there are certain situations where a contractor makes a perfect addition to the team, provided they are properly managed.

Firstly, they can offer a quick fix to your problems. For example, if you need to get some maintenance work done and you employ a full-time maintenance team, you also need to pay them an ongoing salary – complete with benefits like paid holiday and sick leave, you also need to manage that team and supply equipment and so on, so in this instance, it’s much simpler, and cheaper, to use an external contractor. This, in turn, could mean that your employee salary budgets are left unaffected since contractor work is often paid for from a different budget pot.

Secondly, contractors tend to offer increased flexibility and independence. When you hire a new employee, there’s often a period of adjustment as you induct them into your organisation, provide them with training, and bring them up to speed on company values, policies, and procedures – which does have huge long term benefits. But by using a contractor, you can bypass a lot of the onboarding process – except for health and safety – and let them get to work.

Lastly, you gain an increased access to skills, talent, and new business. Contractors have a particular set of existing skills and contacts which they’ve built and honed over time. By using contractors, you’re accessing a world of readily-available and specialised talent, and they can open up your organisation to networking opportunities with other individuals and businesses too.
