In-depth training courses
Our in-depth training courses offer a more detailed level of specialist subject matter knowledge, tools and techniques. They tend to run as half or full day courses and some run over a number of weeks.
They have time built-in to embed learning, provide guidance on best practice, and enable insightful discussion. Many also provide the necessary national accreditation, validation or certification that you may be looking for.
These courses are primarily focused on group delivery for best impact. They can be useful if you have particular teams you wish to target and engage with as part of your wellbeing strategy.
