About In Professional Development and our industry expertise

Working in collaboration with:

In the world of education and training, having a client base as discerning and demanding as senior executives is right up there. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. For us, it’s essential that we walk the talk. If not, you’d see right through us, and quite rightly too. So we have placed three founding principles at the heart of what we do:

Industry Expertise

Blending academic rigour with the latest industry expertise.

This is reflected in the quality of our advisory board and learning partners, who not only have vast experience of both but also understand the alchemy required to combine the two effectively and creatively.

Fundemental Knowledge

We believe fundamentally in knowledge as a key driver of growth and achievement in the 21st century economy.

And that learning is a life long activity and every learner travels a unique journey, requiring a customer-first ethos with bespoke programmes of guidance and support.

Quality First

We put quality first and always strive for excellence and added value in our services, products, and relationships.

We aim to be transparent, fair and responsible. If we make you a promise, we stick to it, and if we make a mistake, we put it right.

Testimonials

Working with people from different organisations helped to realise skills are transferable and relevant in all areas

Nicola Hill
Registered Manager, Christchurch Court Ltd

I found this course extremely thought provoking. It challenged my mindset about work and leadership and what I should expect of myself before even trying to influence or lead others. It provides the tools to become a great or better leader and to see where someone could be going wrong. It also provided analysis tools for unpicking problems and situations and pin pointing the true source of a problem

Sue Poole
School Business Manager

Each day has been excellent, informative, engaging and I am pleased to be able to confidently take away a number of tools to enhance me as a leader. The interactive nature was extremely useful

Mel Kavanagh
Operations Manager, Metasphere Ltd

The tutor adopts a subtly influential style to get the best out of the people around him. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with him this year. I would have no hesitation in recommending the course

Kate Campbell
Head of Retail Operational Communications, Lloyds Banking Group

The tutor has a natural ability to bring out key topics and allowed me to develop arguments that support good decisions. It was really enjoyable working with the tutor in this way and I would recommend the course wholeheartedly

Azfar Haider

Sophie Preston
Co-op Group

An amazing day. Very, very interesting. Excellent, very engaging and informative. Perfectly delivered

Sarah Jane
British Airways

Overall an excellent course that I would recommend to colleagues. I liked the mix of delegates from public and private companies and I feel this mix added to the great debate we had both in and outside the classroom

Bev Tabernacle
Director of Nursing/Deputy Chief Executive - The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation

I can not praise this course enough. When asked at the beginning of the course what I most wanted to achieve from attending I stated growth for myself and tools to assist with growth for the company. This course achieved this with staggering results and so much more. I would recommend it to anyone

Paula Cooney
Head of Operations - Happy Futures

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused, on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high, and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine

Chris Hadfield
Successful Delegate

The tutor was very engaging and knowledgeable. This was a really useful course that will directly impact my practice at work

Claire Frost
Marketing Director - Blackpool and Fylde College

I thoroughly recommend this course to both individuals who have had leadership or management training in the past and to those who haven't. It was really beneficial to re-visit theory in a new role

Gary Platts
Group Manager - Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service

I have worked in marketing, communications and public relations for over 27 years and on the course I learnt a lot that brought me right up to speed with modern marketing techniques, tips and advice. This course is a must for anyone just starting out or those with years of experience and needing a refresh

H.Collier
Marketing and Brand Specialist - InHealth Group Ltd

Just completed the three-day course and would highly recommend it to any of my connections who are in Management or are thinking about taking the next steps up the ladder in their careers

Ian McDonald
National Sales Manager at Norsk Hydro

I self-funded to go on the course because I wanted to widen my management and leadership skill base. The course gave me clarity as a leader to think about what we need to do and gave me the ideas, skills, tools, resources and confidence to achieve it. I now approach things more strategically and my team are responding really positively to the new techniques I’m able to apply. Value for money wise, I would say 10 out of 10
