Testimonials

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We are a national charity and were looking for bespoke initial management training, carried out online, for first-line managers and those we thought would be likely to move into a managerial role. We trialled Loates HR who designed a programme according to our needs, carried out over three hours every month for 10 months by the very knowledgeable and always positive and engaging, Annie.

The programme was very thoughtfully arranged, and the SMT also participated in the programme separately, to sense check the input but also to refresh some of our long lost knowledge.

Annie was excellent, always held the attention of participants, introduced participatory elements to engage the students and explored existing knowledge and experience.

The content was also first class with lots of great practical learning, linked to contemporary practice, that was always captivating.

I would highly recommend Loates HR and Annie for training and we will certainly continue our training and the relationship we have built with the team

A course based on practice, not theory

I had the pleasure to attend training delivered by Annie. The delivery has been superb and the trainer’s practical knowledge makes this learning something I can take away and start applying in my daily job.
The course has been interactive and inclusive, allowing neurodivergent people like myself feel welcomed and at ease, making the learning experience enjoyable, not endurable. The materials have been based on the needs of my organisation and provide great support to my managerial role.

Boosted my spirit and made me laugh lots!

I have attended numerous training sessions with Annie and always find her to be an engaging and relevant trainer. My last session on ‘How to rebuild employee trust and morale’ was a worthwhile couple of hours that boosted my spirit and made me laugh lots! Now I am looking to see what other sessions you offer!

The course was really good and I really enjoyed the interaction with the trainer

I think the course was really beneficial for my role in the company, however, i thought it could be a bit longer than we had. i would like to have similar kind of courses in terms of management to broaden my experience into managing people better. The interaction with the trainer was good and also the references such as the authors and the clips were outstanding. I would recommend people to get into those kind of courses.

Comprehensive and enjoyable

Sarah provided us with two very comprehensive and enjoyable management training days, designed to further develop the skills of our Line Managers.
The course content and learning styles needed were varied and interactive, encouraging us to work independently and in small groups.
Everyone enjoyed the days and we would definitely use Loates Management Training again for future training needs. Thank you!

On-Demand Delivery

In addition to our public scheduled courses, we also offer the option of on-demand private training that’s exclusive to your organisation.

This can provide a particularly convenient and cost-effective solution if you have a large number of staff members to train.

And it’s also tremendously flexible.

Since on-demand courses only have your delegates attending, we can customise them to be specific to the policies and processes of your organisation, and tailor course lengths and depths to suit your particular needs. Likewise, we can combine material from several existing courses, develop fully bespoke content, or combine multiple courses into full programmes of training.

And we can deliver this training whenever and wherever is best for you; in-house at your venue, at one of our training venues, somewhere else entirely, online, or any combination of these.

For an idea of the types of on-demand training that we can provide, just take a look at our on-demand training catalogue.
