In-house management training

Personalised for your requirements

In-house training and COVID-19

To ensure that firms continue to receive high quality training, we are now delivering our in-house management training through our virtual classroom solution - Mercia Live. Our virtual classrooms provide the same level of interaction and expert knowledge as their face to face equivalent, all delivered in a collaborative and online setting. Mercia continue to monitor the government guidance closely and will be running all training virtually until it is safe to return to venues.

Our in-house training gives a more personal approach to meeting your firm's requirements, and we will work with you to understand the day to day challenges you face. From £1,650 per half day (plus VAT), we will provide everything you need including course speakers, course documentation and bespoke content, all tailored to suit your exact needs.
