Management Training for Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, East Midlands
We’re one of Derby’s leading management training providers!
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!
Great training
Considering the topic of mental health first aid Annie made the training informative, yet it was also an enjoyable experience. Annie made it inter-active and wasn’t just following a power-point presentation. I have come away with a huge amount of knowledge to take back to my workplace.
Sarah’s training sessions are informative, fun and engaging. She has been very accommodating and flexible, tailoring her courses to our needs and managing our last minute requests with a smile on her face! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Loates Management Training are very easy to deal with and extremely accommodating, tailoring training material and content to the clients needs. Courses are delivered in a clear and concise manner making the content easy to understand and are excellent value for money, Highly recommended.
Having worked with Sarah previously, I didn’t hesitate in contacting her when a requirement arose for some management training. From our initial contact, Sarah picked up very quickly on what was required and went on to provide excellent training to the whole of our staff. She pitched the training perfectly and demonstrated her knowledge with aplomb when answering questions during the sessions. All feedback on Sarah’s training was very positive. Thank you Sarah!
An eye opening but great course and a huge support throughout from both Annie and Mandy
Annie was lovely throughout the course. Mandy the lady that joined her on course was also great – both very knowledgeable on subject and full of empathy for offers of experiences within the training session.
Can’t wait to complete more courses through Loates – thanks again.
I attended and completed the MHFA training in May 2024 with Annie Litchfield and found it to be incredibly interesting. Annie’s approach was friendly and constantly kept all the trainees involved and entertained. I found there is so much awareness on mental health however this training provided a lot more depth and insight into the sign posts and support available. I would definitely recommend this training.
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.
