More and more businesses are seeing the benefits and value of coaching.
Increased productivity, better morale and improved creativity are just a few of the returns many are getting on their investment.
Our range of business coaching courses and qualifications will give you the practical tools and knowledge to become an effective business coach.
And you can complete the training online, in-person or as a blended bespoke course that could include a mixture of delivery methods – whatever works best for you.
Business Coaching
When managers also become good leaders, everyone benefits. People and teams are inspired, productivity improves and organisations achieve their goals.
We offer a range of courses covering everything your managers need to become effective leaders, from improved problem-solving and decision making to enhanced motivation and change management skills.
Whether you need a training programme for your aspiring leaders, a refresher for your existing ones or a one-off piece of management training, our courses will meet your needs.
Management Training
Whether we are working remotely or back in the office, good interpersonal skills help us identify the best way of interacting with others in different situations.
Our training will help you develop and hone these skills, so you can communicate more effectively, negotiate confidently, improve your customer care and ensure you recruit the right people to your teams.
One of the great things about this training is you will get the opportunity to test your new skills immediately – we all use interpersonal skills every day. And you will see an immediate improvement.
Interpersonal Skills
We offer a wide variety of online training options, ranging from accredited qualifications by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM), to short overview courses of a particular topic.
These short courses can be bought individually, or can be bought as part of a customisable package which results in substantial discounts.
This makes our online training provisions perfect for both individuals and organisations alike.
