At a location to suit you. Most clients prefer to hold the training in-house on their own premises but we are happy to run courses for you off-site, perhaps in a local hotel, or at our own training suite in Aylesford, Kent.

All the nationally recognised courses conclude with an examination (optional). Successful candidates receive certificates from the awarding body.

Certificates of attendance or achievement can be issued to delegates attending all other courses.

Prices vary according to course to be delivered. For example, the First-Aid at Work Certificate is as little as £1100 + vat for up to 12 people – that’s less than £100 per delegate!

We charge for training development and delivery on a daily basis, and will provide you with a written quotation before work begins. Discounts are available where higher volumes of work are placed. Our standard daily rate for training is £875 + vat.

Nationally recognised courses have additional registration and certification fees. These are advised in advance and passed on at cost.

Just look at some of the comments made by clients and judge for yourself!

“The trainers are professional and competent, materials and standards of presentation are good. They have a positive response to feedback and a good response to the short timescales that occur in a retail environment”

We use a variety of methods during a course, depending on the subject and the course objectives.

Our philosophy is to “train by doing” which means that, wherever possible, we include practical exercises. This enables delegates to put the theory into practice, and see at the same time how it relates to their own workplace. This makes them feel more able and confident to use their newly-learnt skills when back at the workplace.

We have several experienced, qualified trainers. We select the most appropriate trainer for the course content and the delegate group. All trainers undertake consultancy work and can bring that experience to the classroom, citing real workplace examples to illustrate and reinforce learning points.
