Courses for institutions

We offer tailored courses, workshops and consultancy which are run ‘in-house’ for a particular group, team or institution in the UK and overseas. This is especially beneficial where there is sufficient need for training or where you are promoting institutional change.

  • We can offer in-house versions of our one day courses at a location of your choosing
  • We can develop face to face, online or blended courses specifically to meet your needs.
  • We can offer two- or three-day Course Design Intensives
  • We can offer consultancy for a department, course team or management team, such as to help redesign a teaching, human resource or management programme, or plan an innovation or new initiative.

Please call us to discuss your requirements. Planning will involve a meeting or discussion with the client beforehand, and negotiation around a draft programme.
