Established over 40 years – originally as First Training – Training Point offers a wide range of predominately DVD-based training resources to busy, time-starved learning and development professionals and senior managers.
Our full catalogue contains over 1000 programs, including Lessons from Geese, our popular international bestseller. The catalogue also features programs from leading producers around the world including Video Arts, Star Thrower, Fenman, Ash-Quarry, Seven Dimensions, Media Partners, Supernova, QMR and VisionPoint.
2008 sees major developments at Training Point as we re-launch into program production. Not only will we now represent the best from around the world but we’ll be regularly producing the best new programs here in Australia and New Zealand.
The first new productions from Training Point are The Value of Mentoring and our 2-pack Management Styles programs - all released on 22 April. Training Point has stands at both the AITD conference in Sydney in late April and NZATD in Auckland in May. Come and visit us! Training Point has offices in Auckland, Melbourne and Bendigo.
Later this year we will be releasing the topical Managing Generation Y. You can pre-register for information about this important new program.
We’re always keen to hear from our customers and training and development professionals about resources they need. Please contact us at info@trainingpoint.net.
We look forward to hearing from you and of course, continuing to supply you with the best DVD training resources for many years to come.

“...when information is presented verbally and visually it has a better chance of being remembered.”
– Paivio, 1971
At Training Point we understand the positive effect high–quality training resources can have on your sessions, and in your business. Preparation time is shortened, credibility and variation are added to the session. Different learning styles are also accommodated.
External professional development courses can be in excess of $1000 per person, per day. Keeping your staff up–to–date and fully trained is a costly exercise. At Training Point we offer hundreds of training DVDs ranging in price, format and style to suit a variety of needs.
The average cost of a locally–produced training DVD is around $500–700. It’s an upfront cost, but a very economical long–term investment. Once purchased, the training DVD is yours to keep and use whenever needed. As the Americans say, “do the math”
An example of one DVD @ $600, used for five years:
– Shown to 10 people a year = $12 per person
– Shown to 25 people a year = $4.80 per person
– Shown to 100 people a year = $1.20 per person
Even used in relatively small groups it’s an incredibly economical and effective way of supplementing and enhancing training. We also know that popular and successful training films are used for in excess of 10 and 15 years.
Learning styles has long been a topic of discussion among educators and trainers –research shows that delivering information in a variety of styles ensures far greater retention. Using a training DVD adds both a visual and auditory aspect to your sessions – a highly sought–after element by trainers.
At Training Point we will continue to bring you the very best in locally–made training DVDs, as well resources from the top producers around the world.
