This method of training was a completely new experience for our works managers and, although I was confident of the benefits it would bring, the delegates attending were a little apprehensive of this new training approach. RPfT’s course designers and facilitators were extremely skilled in understanding our requirements and designed and delivered a training day to raise self-awareness of how communication styles can impact the effectiveness of the message being delivered.

We are now looking forward to developing a program of communication training and working with RPfT to deliver sessions to the rest of the business.” Ruth James, Director, Jones Bros
