Questions before you book?

Practical answers about course formats, group sizes and what to expect.

What’s included in the training?

Sessions are led by a trainer and designed to be practical, with opportunities to ask questions. Course materials and certificates are provided where applicable; we’ll confirm the exact arrangements when you book.

How many people do you recommend for a private course?

For hands-on training, we usually recommend a small group so everyone can practise and get support. Around 8–10 people is often a good starting point, but we’ll advise based on the subject and your goals.

Can you tailor the course to our team?

Yes. Tell us what your team already knows and what they need to achieve, and we can discuss a private course built around those priorities.

Do you offer public and private courses?

It depends on the course. Public dates are shown on this page when available; we can discuss private training even if no public session is scheduled.

Can we train online or at our premises?

Yes, many courses can be delivered live online or privately at your workplace. We can also discuss venue-based training for your group.

What if I’m unsure about the right level?
