Open Training is held at Pride Park Stadium in Derby, and is booked on a first come first served basis by delegates from different organisations. Closed Training is booked for delegates from the same organisation. The fixed price includes a comprehensive workbook, access to follow on resources, a certificate for CPD records, lunch, all refreshments, and free parking. Pride Park Stadium is a first rate venue only ten minutes from Junction 25 of the M1, and less than 2 hours from Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and London.

Benefits

Open Training is a cost and time effective way to meet an individual’s training requirements. It is also an opportunity to network with delegates from a wide range of professional backgrounds, and also an opportunity to experience the quality and value of our training prior to implementing a wider training programme across an organisation. Delegates booked on a Closed Training programme benefit from discussion and learning being focused on the specific issues faced by their organisation, as well as facilitating inter-organisational networking and team building.

We accept credit/debit card, cheque, and bank transfer payment methods.

For open training courses the full amount must be paid prior to commencing the course. We are confident that delegates will find our training highly beneficial. However, for total peace of mind we offer a full no-quibble guaranteed refund for any delegate who is dissatisfied with the quality of the training as long as they leave the course before lunch and provide written feedback on the cause of their dissatisfaction.

For other formats of training we take a 50% deposit to secure the booking, and ask that the balance is paid within 30 days of the final invoice. For longer contracts the balance payment will be staged at monthly intervals.

Where we have to travel outside of a 20 mile radius from our company headquarters in Derby we will charge reasonable travel expenses which include mileage at 40p per mile, rail fares, underground fares, air fares, taxis, subsistence, and any overnight accommodation.
