Training Approach

We provide a range of training programmes for managers and support staff. Our programmes are tailored to your organisation's policies, procedures and business issues. We make training practical and relevant so that participants are able to apply new skills and knowledge to their work roles.

Our training approach is to:

  • Customise training around your organisation's systems, processes, terminology and governance frameworks
  • Focus on value for money, transparency and accountability
  • Fully engage participants: we cater for all learning styles, include a range of activities and use accelerated learning techniques
  • Use blended learning: we include pre-course exercises, post-course exercises and encourage participants to bring along their own reports, information and management issues
  • Provide training needs analysis, if required

We are passionate about making training relevant, understandable and fun.

Examples of tailored training solutions include:

  • Understanding the finances of your department, the role of appropriations, and the phases of the government budget cycle
  • Applying business acumen in the public sector to improve efficiency and service delivery
  • Strategies for delivering sustainable business growth
  • Improving departmental financial management frameworks, e.g. accurate and timely reporting, improving transparency and accountability by using better costing methods, delivering improved outcomes through the use of strategic financial modelling and value focused budgeting and forecasting methods

What our participants say:

'Kevin has a superb way of explaining what is quite an intricate subject. Timing is well managed and the course content really tied everything together in relation to our company practices and procedures'
