New Targeted Bespoke Training

We are continuing to meet the demands – throughout the UK and beyond – for our highly successful one-day training courses in all aspects of Physical Education.

Because of our continual interaction with P.D.Ms and course providers, we have been able to tailor these one-day courses to meet the specific needs of their practitioners. The success of this has now led us to develop an additional modular approach.

We can now add to our training repertoire by providing a more flexible targeted approach. We can provide a wide range of shorter, in-depth modules on specific aspects of P.E. which can be delivered as half-day or twilight sessions.

This would mean we could provide:-

• A half-day module of your choice
• A twilight module of your choice
• 2 different half-day modules on the same day
• an afternoon half-day module and a different twilight module on the same day
• one whole-day course delivered as afternoon and twilight

We can offer the following ½ day / twilight modules from which to choose and invite you to create your own unique training day.
