Pre-Course Work:

Pre-course work is required for this training, as there is restricted time to prepare the presentations during the programme. Delegates will be given several opportunities to present to their colleagues over the two days. These presentations will be digitally recorded and played back for analysis and critique.

Please contact us for specific details on the courses we are running. Our Business Development Team will be happy to provide you with further details.

Before the course, each delegate will be asked to complete a Pre-Course Briefing Form to determine their individual objectives for attending the course. These objectives will be used by the Tutor to give on-target training that is focused on the individual delegates.

At the end of the course, each delegate will be asked to complete a Personal Development Plan that can be used as part of future appraisals, and that will also be an important tool for management reference.
