Public Classes Cincinnati, OH  Webinars Group Classes

The Academy of Business Training is dedicated to helping professional men and women improve their business skills and knowledge.  

What we offer.
We offer public classes and webinars for 1 - 4 individuals and employer sponsored classes and webinars for groups.

Why train?
Employee training remains one of the highest returns on investment (ROI) a company can make. Companies in the top 25% in training expenditure per employee per year average 24% higher profit margins than companies that spend less per year. Employee training: 

• increases employee productivity,
• improves employee performance,
• boosts employee morale,
• helps employee retention, and
• reduces recruiting costs.

We operate on the premise, the only people qualified to teach business classes are individuals who have successfully performed the skill over a period of years and have gone on to become managers of others skilled in the subject.  Only then can the instructor pass on skills worthy of your employees’ time and your money.

We seek out experienced business professionals and then teach them to train what they know best using our rigorous training curriculum and the latest facilitative learning techniques.

No motivational speakers here, only instructors who will inspire your employees to do the best job they have been taught to do. We stick to teaching proven business practices and procedures and leave the motivational high jinks to the other guys. If you read advice given by any seasoned motivational speaker, the thing they all stress is they are performers. Do you want to entertain your employees? Doubtful! You will not find our instructors dancing around, having your employees chant, or beating drums. The result of such a class is to get your employees all fired up for a few days.  After that, it then leaves everyone scratching their heads wondering how the class they just took will actually help them.

In the vast majority of cases, motivational classes are just thinly masked sales pitches for pricey tapes or books and/or consulting services.  We do not participant in this form of up-selling.  If you have ever hired a motivational speaker, you know what we are talking about.

Our account managers can work with you to improve the performance of your workforce. Employee training has been proven to be one of the best returns on investment there is…start to improve your bottom line today by contacting your account manager.

Employee Group Training Classes.
Employee training classes take place in the privacy of your company’s or organization's facility.  Students are able to interact with other members of your company or organization to learn the latest business practices and procedures.  Your instructor will be an experienced business professional using the latest training methods and materials.  Who knows...you might even learn something yourself!  Group training classes are offered within a 50 mile radius of these cities: Cincinnati, OH; Dayton, OH; Columbus, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Lexington, KY; and Louisville, KY.

Group Advantage.
Many businesses belong to a business and/or trade association.  We often schedule classes for these groups as a cost saving measure for its members.  For example, the individual cost of a one day class is $250.00, for 10 it is $187.00 each participant, and for 20 participants it is all the way down to $125.00 per participant.  As you can see, there is a significant cost savings for group classes.  Why not suggest a group class at your next meeting?  Our account managers are available to make a presentation to your group on request.  Schedule a seminar.

Our Instructors.
ABT instructors have a minimum of 20 years business experience and have held a senior management position for at least 5 years. Most business school instructors come from an educational background and have very little on the job experience (remember the movie Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield).  When you take an ABT business training class your employees are learning from business professionals trained in facilitative learning....not educators with no experience.  Our instructors live and have worked in your area, so they know the local market.

Cancellation Policy.
You may cancel a class for any reason up to 48 hours prior to class start date and time.  Training materials must be returned unopened to receive a full refund. You have the option of a full refund, to reschedule, or receive a credit for a future class.

Our Classes Are Highly Concentrated.
No "fluff" or "filler" here.  Our business training courses get to the point with the latest in business practices and procedures.  We realize your time is valuable, so we provide experienced instructors using proven teaching methods and materials.
