The organisations that flourish are those that can adapt in a constantly changing environment. The secret is a flexible and skilled workforce.

We offer staff training and development from low-cost, low-commitment events to bespoke courses designed and delivered to your specific needs.

Short courses

If you have specific skills needs or want an injection of inspiration, our short courses could be the perfect option, lasting from just an afternoon up to a couple of days. These courses range from more common topics such as coaching and mentoring or developing leadership to specialist subjects.

• ARENA simulation training courses
• Bridge inspection training course
• Forensic investigation of light bulbs

Long term courses

For more rounded development our postgraduate courses such as MPhil or PhD can give your staff new knowledge and, importantly, different ways of looking at challenges, opportunities and solutions. Developing an employee's approach to their work can have far-reaching benefits for the organisation, such as identifying and capitalising on market opportunities, and more effective problem solving that delivers innovative solutions with greater impact.

Bespoke courses

If you can't find a course that covers everything that you need it to, we'll develop a bespoke course to meet your specific requirements. We'll work with you to identify the particular areas a course should cover, and we'll then design and deliver a tailor-made development package in a way that suits you. The skills your employees learn will allow them to drive real organisational change, and ultimately improve on the bottom line. And because it covers all of your organisational skills requirements in one programme, you get the best possible value from your training budget.
