Training courses are designed specifically to meet client needs.They draw upon a wide range of “subject modules” which can be varied in length and depth supported by different degrees of practical consolidation.

A core part of communication training is the “Kipper®” technique originally devised by Willie Macnair, previously of the Rhetorical Company, the IP and Trademark of which is owned by Gareth Bunn. Extensions of the technique to team messages, meetings/conference calls and workshops (TeamKipper® and MeetingKipper®) form part of the relevant courses.
