Management for the mystified, Managing your piles (and time)!!

Our open course programme is designed to cover topics where an organisation may have one or two members of staff who need training in a particular area but not enough numbers to justify a custom course. These courses give the same comprehensive grounding combined with our usual totally hands on, interactive style as our custom programmes. They provide an economical and effective way of providing training.

Courses are held either at Malvern Theatres or the Abbey Hotel in Worcestershire: our home base and a beautiful setting that reflects our forum theatre based methods or now in the heart of London for those who find this more convenient. Attractively presented course notes are provided for delegates as part of the course fee.

Ring 01684 311287 or email viv@nelsontraining.co.uk to reserve your place.

All one day courses 9.30 am to 4 pm.
Malvern course fee £245 plus VAT.
London course fee £295 plus VAT.

Management for the mystified 2 day course 9.30 am to 4 pm.

“Actors were brilliant. Good mix of information & scenarios. Much better than role play or standard type of presentation. Very enjoyable day. Highly recommended”
