Flexible ways to learn
We offer several delivery options to make training accessible to both individual learners and organisations.
Public scheduled courses

Public courses offer straightforward per-delegate pricing and are ideal for individuals or organisations that only need to train a small number of employees.
Our public Microsoft Applications and Professional Development courses are delivered in small groups, helping delegates receive individual attention and giving everyone the opportunity to participate.
Private online training

Private online training can provide a cost-effective option for groups, particularly when employees are based in different locations. The course content can often be adapted to reflect your team’s existing knowledge, learning objectives and preferred areas of emphasis.
Private on-site training
Many of our courses can also be delivered at your organisation’s premises.On-site training allows colleagues to learn together in a familiar environment and can be particularly suitable for organisations arranging training for a full team or department.

Why organisations choose ExperTrain
Live, instructor-led learning
Every class is led by an experienced trainer who can explain the subject, demonstrate techniques, answer questions and provide support throughout the course.
Practical and interactive courses
Our courses include trainer demonstrations, practical exercises, workplace examples and opportunities for questions.
Learners are encouraged to participate and practise the skills being taught rather than simply watch a presentation.
Experienced specialist trainers
Courses are delivered by knowledgeable trainers with extensive experience in their specialist subjects and in delivering training to workplace learners.
Small class sizes
Our public Microsoft Applications and Professional Development courses typically have no more than 12 delegates.
Smaller groups help learners receive individual guidance and give everyone the opportunity to ask questions.
Supporting course materials
Relevant supporting materials are provided with our courses, helping delegates continue practising and refer back to what they have learned after the training.
Flexible course options
We can help organisations identify suitable course levels, combine selected topics for private groups and adjust the emphasis of a course to meet specific learning objectives.
Responsive, personal service
We aim to make arranging training straightforward.
From the initial enquiry through to course delivery, joining instructions and certification, our clients receive clear information and practical support.
Supporting organisations across different sectors
We provide training for organisations of different sizes across the public, private and non-profit sectors.
Our clients include charities, universities and colleges, local authorities, housing organisations, construction businesses, professional services firms and other employers looking to develop the skills of their staff.
