I am based in central England, UK. I offer my training, coaching, and mentoring services face to face and online across the UK and overseas. I can work with you in-house or can arrange suitable training venues and / or team away days.
I do not include formal assessments as part of my training courses and programmes, however I do highly recommend delegates complete any associated independent directed learning that is provided for each course/programme. Completing directed learning helps to reinforce knowledge and skills acquired during the training, making it more likely that delegates will retain and apply this knowledge in their professional roles and for the benefit of their organisation. Myself and my team are available to provide support throughout the process.
This varies depending on which education or training course is being delivered. Training typically ranges from a half day course to a 4-day programmes and is based on course design and client need. In addition, it is usually expected that delegates would complete additional independent directed learning to support knowledge development and application of learning. Dates and timings of delivery, along with training hours and expectations will all be discussed and confirmed when you make a booking enquiry.
If you are an organisation interested in having your bespoke programme certified, please speak with me prior to making a booking so we can discuss your needs. All courses are available with L7 Certification, and some are available with University Certification and / or CPD points.
I offer 10% discount on bookings where 5 or more delegate places are booked on the same programme (bookings must be made at the same time and through the same payment transaction for the discount to be applied – this applies to bookings made for open programmes). In-house course fees will be confirmed once you have made an enquiry and we have discussed your needs.
It covers all required study material and programme activities. Further details and requirements will be discussed and confirmed when you make a booking enquiry to ensure the training meets your specific need.
