In-house courses and tailored learning programmes

If you are looking for tailored in-house training – our main area of specialism – then this is where answering the cost question gets a little more complex.

This is because we don’t deal in off-the-shelf solutions. We want to help make a real difference for you and your team. And we’ve learned that the best way to do that is by taking the time to understand exactly what led you to seek out training in the first place.

That way we can work with you to identify the kind of solution that will help you solve your challenges or meet your goals. You’ll have good reasons for looking to change how your team members approach the process of researching, drafting, co-authoring or editing their reports, emails, bids, press releases, policies – or whatever else they write. We listen to those reasons, and what it is you need to change. Then we can talk you through what we recommend.

Generic courses generally don’t get to the root of a unique set of challenges in a department or organisation. So our interventions vary. But programmes generally consist of some combination of:

• analysis of existing documents, templates and guidance
• consulting on (or creating) new guidance and templates
• small-group training sessions run by specialist trainers
• comprehensive training resources, incorporating tailored exercises
• individual pre-course writing analysis
• post-course writing analysis
• one-to-one coaching sessions
• bespoke assessments based on your real-world documents
• access to 52 modules of e-learning content
• helpdesk support.

These are the building blocks, but not every programme includes every one. It will depend on what you want to achieve. Need to transform your board reporting to ensure effective corporate governance? This will probably involve workshops, coaching and guidance. Need to help your teams understand the best channels for communicating different messages virtually? This could be tackled in an interactive webinar.

But I just want a training course

If this all sounds more complicated than you were looking for, don’t worry. Often, the key (sometimes only) part of the recommended course of action is a tailored workshop for a specific group or team. We’ll design this based on our conversations with you. And we’ll tailor the materials using real-life examples of your documents, to ensure the content is relevant and easy to put into practice.

For a group of eight to ten, the price for one course will range from £3,000–3,900 per course (£300–£390 per delegate). A course is typically 3–7 hours long (sometimes split across multiple sessions). The sessions are practical, engaging and interactive – passive listening doesn’t generally produce change.

We will also analyse a sample of writing from each participant and feed back their results along with individual guidance during the training. This is key to ensuring each learner gets the full impact of the training.

‘The feedback I received for my technical writing was fantastic. There were so many annotations and comments. This will really help me with all future writing tasks.’
