We aim to provide a highly engaging and memorable experience for delegates, fostering real learning and enabling skills to be safely practised using relevant scenarios.

Courses may be run for as few as 4 delegates, making them suitable and affordable for SME's and smaller organisations, as well as for larger organisations who want to test the water with a new learning approach.

Training notes are normally presented in an easy-reference A5 format, as well as on CD-ROM for saving onto a PC or laptop. All course materials are also available for organisations to facilitate training in-house (following limited 'train the trainer' consulting and allowing customisation or enhancement if required).

In many courses and at a small extra cost, delegates may familiarise with and receive their personal copy of our People ASSiST™ personal organiser, providing a practical day-to-day guide as they begin coaching or mentoring. These may be easily customised to reference in-house terminology, initiatives and organisation-specific case studies.
