We provide training and consultancy for families, for people who want to develop their own plans, and for organisations.
We have established courses and we also design and develop new courses or projects for and with our customers using design teams. A design team is made up of a cross section of the participants who will be on the course or event and other stakeholders. We work with the design team to develop a clear common purpose and plan activities and logistics to achieve this purpose.
Our course costs are £700 per day. This excludes VAT, expenses and materials.
We have a range of tailored programmes where we work with customers to identify what success indicators they'd like to achieve. On the last day of the programme we look at how these have been met.
