Our courses are structured to develop skills and understanding that will make an immediate difference to the way participants are able to do their jobs. We offer:
One and two-day courses which are open to all
Every year we offer over 100 courses in subjects ranging from negotiation skills to project management.
Team training or 'in-house courses'
These are courses for groups of people from the same organisation. Most errors at work happen because of failures to communicate, collaborate or coordinate. Training your whole team means you address these issues and develop efficient and effective ways of working in your organisation. Most of our courses can be modified to deliver exactly what you need in a location that you choose.
Specialist training
Courses may be commissioned by organisations or suggested by professional associations. They are based on the research work of the University’s leading academics or developed in collaboration with expert practitioners. We are able to design, build, manage and deliver courses that are world class in both their learning design and the quality of the content.
We welcome enquiries both from those who 'need' courses and from experts and academics who want to 'provide' courses.
