We can offer one-to-one tuition and group teaching at your business premises. Alternatively, we have training facilities available at different locations if you prefer the training to be carried out off-site.

As we are based in the High Peak any additional travelling outside our usual working area of High Peak and Greater Manchester must be cover by the client at a charge of £2 per mile, to cover costs.

A minimum booking of 2 continuous hours is required, at a rate of £25 per hour.

A full day intensive training course normally runs from 9.30 - 5.00 at £150

Group bookings must be priced individually, phone us to discuss your requirements and we will tailor a training package to your needs and budget.
