In-house training

Any Thomas Telford course can be run at your premises as an in-house event for your staff, both in the UK and internationally. To date, we have run courses in mainland Europe, Hong Kong, Dubai and China. 

We can provide not only our publicly available courses but also training on a wide range of topics relevant to the civil engineering and construction industries.

There are many reasons to consider the in-house training option. You may require:

  • Learning tailored to your organisation’s needs
  • Training within a confidential environment that enables the free discussion of competitive issues and challenges
  • Opportunities to enhance team working
  • Learning that is wholly integrated with your organisation’s goals and strategies
  • Added value above and beyond the capability of any public training course

Our in-house training also has the following advantages:

Value
In-house training can make your budget go further. Thomas Telford Training prices in-house training on a per-day basis. This means that if you have six or more course delegates you will normally save money when compared to any equivalent publicly scheduled courses. The more delegates you have the greater the saving. Add to this the savings in staff time, travel and accommodation and the value of the in-house option is crystal clear.

Flexibility
You can customise any element of Thomas Telford Training courses including the format, content, duration and timing. All Thomas Telford Training courses are available in off the peg, tailored or bespoke versions:

Off the Peg
Our course tutor will deliver the course exactly as it is delivered within our public training course schedule. We simply need to agree dates and venues with you and the course can be delivered to your staff, a truly ready-made solution.

Tailored
Tailored courses better reflect the needs of your organisation in terms of your preferred delivery style. For example, more emphasis may be placed upon certain components of the course and the timetable may be adjusted to facilitate these changes. Whenever a course is tailored, we will put you in direct contact with our tutors so that you can fully brief them with your requirements in advance of your training event.

Bespoke
Bespoke courses may be built to order using the course materials that we have available, or even researched and developed from scratch to meet your precise requirements. Many clients who choose this option will add sessions delivered by members of their own staff to promote key corporate messages.

Guaranteed Quality
Thomas Telford Training services are ISO 9001:2008 accredited. As soon as you approach us, we will allocate an Account Manager to you, who will ensure that your event meets your expectations. Quality is carefully monitored throughout the in-house event process and your input is welcomed at any stage. After each event, Thomas Telford Training will provide you with feedback from your delegates and our course tutor, and discuss the outcome of the training with you.
