From the training room
A few of the teams we’ve worked with recently – in-house at their premises, at our venues and on public courses.
Training created for every kind of brain
People don’t all learn the same way – and a great course shouldn’t assume they do. Every Keys Training course has been adapted for different types of learners, including neurodivergent attendees and people with disabilities, so everyone in the room gets the same value from the day.
Whether someone has dyslexia, ADHD, autism, a hearing or visual impairment, or simply prefers to learn by doing rather than listening, our trainers adjust the pace, materials and activities to suit the people in front of them.
Every course has been assessed by accessibility experts to make sure it’s accessible and beneficial for all.
Neurodiversity-aware
Clear structure, plain language and varied activities that work for dyslexic, ADHD and autistic learners.
Accessible materials
Handouts and slides designed for readability, with formats adapted on request for individual needs.
Adjusted to the room
Small groups mean the trainer can flex pace, breaks and delivery style around each attendee.
Expert-reviewed
Every course has been assessed by specialists to make sure it’s accessible and valuable for everyone.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this course for?
Managers, team leaders and supervisors responsible for building or leading a team – and anyone stepping into a role where they need to get a group working together.
Is this a team-building activity day?
No – it is a skills course for the people who lead teams. It covers team roles, dynamics, development and leadership, with practical sessions throughout. If you want an away-day style event for a whole team, talk to us about tailoring the content.
Can the course be delivered remotely?
Yes. The in-house fee covers delivery at your premises or as a live online class via Microsoft Teams – same trainer, same content, same materials.
Can the course be tailored to our organisation?
Yes – every in-house course starts with a free training needs analysis, so the examples, exercises and emphasis are built around your organisation and the situations your people actually face.
What is the actor-led option?
Our actor-led option adds professional actors to the training day, so your managers practise real conversations with someone who responds exactly as a colleague would – and get feedback on how it landed. Find out more about training with professional actors.
What do attendees receive?
Every attendee receives reference materials and a course completion certificate, and we provide free post-course telephone and email support.
