Costs, location, duration

The cost is £999+VAT per person to join the programme for a year of access to all the training and resources. For a team of 6, the cost is £3499+VAT.

Lessons are held live on Wednesday mornings, over a 9 week period  – with a total of around 25 hours study time.

Being online and available to watch on catch-up any time that suits me, means it is also very flexible. I will get access to the course recordings and materials for one year.

I am keen to book as soon as possible, as our team has important work to do and we need to make our communications as engaging and sharable as we can, to ensure we make a meaningful impact.

I’d be very grateful if you’d consider this opportunity for me to develop my skills, and bring the organisation even more value from my work.
