We support both SMEs and enterprise-level clients looking to build in-house capabilities or retrain existing staff.
Our commercial training process is simple, flexible, and designed with your workforce in mind.
We begin with a friendly, no-obligation consultation to understand:
The type of training your team requires
The number of staff and their existing experience
Your site layout and available workspace
Operational challenges or compliance needs
We can also schedule a site visit or virtual walkthrough to assess suitability and provide recommendations.
Next, we design a bespoke training proposal that aligns with your goals, including a breakdown of the costs involved. Every element is tailored:
We can build City & Guilds Assured modules (if required) specific to your site, team size, and existing workflows
Incorporate training on your tools and equipment, or we can bring our own setup
Add-ons like assessments, post-course materials, and online reinforcement training are available
Once you’re happy with the direction, we move into detail. Together, we:
Finalise your bespoke training proposal, including outcomes, content, and structure
Discuss any additional requirements: e.g., shift patterns, certification preferences, or equipment restrictions
Begin building your City & Guilds Assured programme (if required), ensuring it meets their standards for quality, consistency, and professionalism
Confirm all logistics, support materials, and pre-training preparation
With everything approved, the next thing to arrange is dates and logistics for arrival
Each session includes:
Live demonstrations using your site-specific tools and systems (or ours if needed)
Hands-on practicals with real-time coaching and support
A section of presentation, including company ethos, health & safety and expectations of the training
Small group formats (4–6 people max, depending on space and logistics)
We’re flexible—training can be split over several days or tailored to your production schedule.
