In company training is a learning intervention designed around your needs, held at a time and place to suit you. It's usually cost effective if you have four or more colleagues who have identified the same learning needs. These are open, tutor-led training courses with no more than 15 attendees. Focussing on developing new skills, workshops are best for individuals or 2 – 3 colleagues who have identified similar learning needs. All workshops include opportunities to practise and receive feedback. Seminars are open forums, facilitated by trainers, for professionals at a similar level to discuss issues around a theme. Usually taking a round-table format, they’re best for experienced practitioners to gain and share theory, knowledge and experience, and benchmark against best practice via case studies. Each of our flagship conferences explores new legal developments in detail.

Our range of business essentials and management skills e-learning programmes can be used as highly effective stand-alone modules or as part of a blended learning approach – combining e-learning with pre- and post-work for both in-house learning and open courses.
