In-house training

Bring our expertise to your door

If you have several members of staff who require training in any of the subject areas we provide, this is a far more cost effective option and each course can be tailored to suit the requirements of your organisation. It also saves you the cost and your staff the inconvenience of travelling or an overnight stay. Our in-house courses give your staff the opportunity to learn in a local venue selected by you at a place and time that better suits their needs.

For example, in the case of a statutory organisation booking an in-house course at the basic fee of £1,284 this would average out to £64.20 per person (where the maximum 20 participants attend). The savings for a voluntary organisation would be even greater. The only travel and accommodation costs you would need to cover would be those of the visiting trainer.

If you are a small organisation with only a few members of staff, you may find it beneficial to make a booking in partnership with other local organisations, in order to share the costs and benefit from the wider range of knowledge and skills found in a more diverse group.

·         We provide the trainer, and the written notes.

·         You provide the participants, arrange the venue and refreshments to your own requirements.

Which Courses Can Be Run In-house?

All the courses listed under Training Calendar can be delivered on an in-house basis, and we also offer the following four courses, which can be tailored to meet your own local training needs, solely for in-house training:

Carers’ Assessments: Good Practice
Carers Awareness for Primary Care & Health Staff
Community Care Law Advanced for Occupational Therapists

Why Choose These Courses?

All courses can be tailored to meet your own local training needs.

For example at a practice level, you may want participants to work with case studies from their own experience or caseload, at a policy level, you may want to use in-house training to examine your own systems and procedures

We can also develop new courses in conjunction with your organisation.
