A short course to help trainers identify key traits of learners who may have dyslexia and to provide information as well as signpost individuals to assessment centres and support.

Successful Retirement Programme

This training programme aims to raise awareness amongst individuals about the need to plan financially for their retirement. The training is divided into two sections:

to help individuals understand the importance of planning for their retirement - looking at the life they want, how much it might cost and anything that could be preventing them from planning.
to introduce the variety of retirement planning options available - explaining what they are, what they do, what the benefits are and also what the problems and costs are.

The training is mainly delivered to intermediaries, such as union learning representatives, line managers or HR teams, who then use the support materials provided to cascade the information to colleagues and/or employers.
