Session list

The complete online training library for headhunters and recruiters

Whatever topic you want to study, ku.dos has it covered. But with ku.dos you don’t just sit and listen. Each session is interactive, designed to be an inclusive learning experience. Each session contains projects and exercises that you work through as you go to ensure that the material is retained and starts to become ingrained in the mind of the recruiter – ready to be used in real life situations.

SESSION LISTING

ku.dos is split over twenty sessions. Each session contains a number of chapters/movies allowing you to stop at any point and come back when you are ready to the same chapter or start a new session/movie. New content is added from time to time and that bonus material has an additional movie of Warren delivering training in a live setting. Your total viewing time is just under twenty hours and each session comes with its own downloadable workbook. When every session is followed, the learning time works out at around 60 hours. Imagine spending over 60 hours in the company of a world-class recruitment trainer! It’s no wonder that the executive search firms, solutions led providers and recruitment agencies who use ku.dos feel that they have an unfair advantage over their competitors.

Trainer’s notes

Session twenty

‘Trainer’s notes.’ Each ku.dos recruitment training session has a number of projects and exercises to be completed as part of the learning process. This session lists what each one is, what they entail and gives you a suggested time for each to be completed. This will help an individual and/or their organisation to plan the right amount of time for ongoing training using ku.dos.
