Pyramid Training - About us

Pyramid Training Solutions offer numerous workshops, courses or programmes for a wide variety of organisations and businesses in the UK and Ireland.

Our success comes from the passion for what we do and in how we provide our service to our customers. We aim to establish the most effective means to meet customer needs either through tailored solutions or Accredited Programmes, workshops or courses.

All solutions developed have the latest learning techniques designed to enhance the learning experience, woven into our workshops, courses and programmes. For people to perform, the learning experience is integral to their development so they are both fun and informative.

Delegates will leave their learning experience motivated and encouraged to apply their learning back in the workplace, enhancing their own performance and that of their team.

Designing Learning Materials

Our facilitators have built up years of experience, designing and developing learning materials to compliment and run effective learning programmes both for our own trainers and facilitators to use and for our clients in-house trainers. Let us help you design and/or deliver your in-house learning programmes. We will ensure consultation on best fit for your organisational or business needs.

To make your own learning programmes effective, we can support and develop your own ‘In-House’ trainers with the latest training and presentation skills.

Integrated learning programmes

Solutions from Pyramid use consistent content design that enables us to adapt the learning programmes our clients require to meet their specific needs. We are able to offer a ‘pick ‘n’ mix’ approach to programme or workshop design, that incorporates a selection from our catalogue. Our flexible approach enables us to offer programmes that can be delivered in the following ways:

• Half day ‘bite-size’ sessions - single or multiples
• Full day workshops or learning programmes - single or multiples

Please Note: all of our Accredited Programmes have to meet stringent quality assurance checks and though we will provide a flexible delivery to these, the curriculum requirements require us to ensure all learners attend minimum course time.
