Management Training for Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, East Midlands

We’re one of Derby’s leading management training providers!

Annie Litchfield delivering leadership & management training

We provide East Midlands businesses with practical training for managers, supervisors, and team leaders. As you’d expect, our management, HR, wellbeing, and people skills courses are designed and delivered by a highly qualified, experienced, and accredited team of experts. But since we also run a multi-award winning HR consultancy, we actually do all the things we talk about in our training, on a day-to-day basis out there in the real-world. As a result, we can adopt a down-to-earth and business focused approach within our courses, bringing theory to life by drawing on numerous interesting cases that we have ourselves personally dealt with.

So, rather than boring you with a load of dull hypothetical academic talk, we’ll instead show you the best practical ways to effectively deal with the types of tricky management issues that you’re likely to really face within your workplace. Which means that our training fully involves participants through interactive exercises, case studies, and Q&A sessions. No ‘death by PowerPoint’ here!

We supply the full lifecycle of training services, all the way from initial pre-training needs analysis to post-training evaluations and follow-up support. We can deliver our management training in whatever format best suits you, ranging from single off-the-shelf bite-sized webinars to bespoke programmes of full-day classroom based sessions with comprehensive follow-up support. We don’t view our training as simply an end in itself, but rather as an effective tool for helping your business get to where it wants to go.

Don’t just take our word for it!

5 star course

The course was 5 star, Annie put us at ease from the first minute and delivered the course superbly. she gave us time to take on board the information and didn’t try to bombard us with information.
every session of the course was explained and Annie got all the delegates involved and active in the day.
I enjoyed the course and now have some knowledge to use when helping people with their issues. Nothing was too much trouble for Annie so brilliant.
Must also add that the shortbread that Annie supplied was not only delicious it was M&S too.
I would recommend this course to anyone thank you for all your work in training people up to help those with mental health issues
Thank You

Great tutor, venue and course

The fabulous tutor was very knowledgeable and involved all the group in discussions and exercises which made it all very enjoyable as well as informative. Great venue as well.

The MHFA Two Day course is superb

The MHFA Two Day course is superb. The Loates trainer delivered the course in a relaxed and enjoyable manner, engaging everybody and making difficult subjects very easy to discuss and learn about. The practical exercises were actually fun but with a serious point, the Hearing Voices one really brought home to me how some people suffer. The course covers depression and anxiety, suicide, psychosis and gives you a framework to use to help people. The course book is huge, well produced and contains more detailed information than you need for the course, you take it away and dip in it at your leisure. Loates training rooms allowed for small group work and large discussions with large screen and good sound.

This course opened my eyes to what people go through, and that many people are affected. Everyone was open which added to the learning atmosphere. I recommend this course to everyone, all levels and all roles. The more we talk, the stronger we all are.

High Quality Professional Training

I attended the Mental Health First Aid course held by Loates Management Training last week, I was impressed by the quality of training delivered, the course content was excellent and the reference material we took away was of a very high standard.

The venue was perfect the room was well ventilated and roomy and all the IT worked first time! Result!

I would also like to mention Loates’ team – they welcomed us and kept us well fed and watered throughout the course, they were professional courteous and delightful.

i would have no issue recommending this excellent HR consultancy for any training needs

“Having been on two GDPR training sessions which failed to inform how to implement it, this training from Sarah Loates of Loates Training was all and more that you could ask for. Clear, concise, interactive, step by step, Q&A to show exactly how to implement all that is needed to be compliant. Added to this was a toolkit of templates and slides/information to ease the process, given on an encrypted pen stick. Leaving the session armed also with the facility of after support, I can thoroughly recommend this training and trainer.”

Completing the Mental Health First Aider training was truly transformative. Our instructors, Annie and Tayla, were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and compassionate. They created a safe space for learning, encouraging open discussions, and equipping us with practical tools for mental health support.I was deeply impressed by their dedication to reducing stigma and promoting mental wellness.If you’re considering this qualification, I highly recommend reaching out to Annie and Tayla for further information. They are exceptional educators who genuinely care about empowering others in mental health advocacy.

I really enjoyed the Critical Thinking and Decision Making Workshop I attended recently. Tayla’s presentation and the additional information will definitely help me within my role and move my skills forward. Thank you very much Tayla 🙂

I attended a Mental Health First Aid course ran by Annie. She was a brilliant trainer and very good at facilitating the course and encouraging everyone to get involved in the discussions. I would definitely recommend Annie and Loates Management Training.

I attended a training session with Sarah which focussed on recruiting the right person. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some useful tips and advice on not only the process of recruitment but the legal pitfalls to avoid during this process.

We have been engaged with Loates HR for the past six months on both training provision and HR services. Our experience has been first class, with both services delivered professionally with a friendly and engaging approach that makes the relationship feel less like client/contractor and more colleague/colleague. Our training solution is a bespoke arrangement for first-line managers and we have been impressed with the attention taken to ensure that all content is evidenced and up-to-date and delivered in a way that encourages engagement and therefore learning. I would highly recommend.
