Who are we?
The Training Centre is an organisation delivering a vast range of Training Courses, including Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Risk Management. The business has grown from it's initial roots in the UK and Ireland, out to and including Europe, the Middle East and now North America.
Our Training staff and support team has grown to some 30 in number, with an eye on Quality at all times. Each of our permanent and affiliate Training staff has undergone extensive vetting, assessment and ongoing training to ensure they deliver the best experience for our delegates. All have a minimum of 20 years experience in their chosen field, with a wealth of experience not just within the workplace, but in delivering training that engages, motivates and develops our delegates. In the last year alone, our training staff have delivered over 5500 training days in Cybersecurity, IT Governance, Data Protection, Risk Management, Audit and Compliance, with a focus not just on imparting knowledge, but on helping our delegates understand the application of this knowledge, allowing them to implement their learning effectively.
So, whether you have aspirations to become a Data Protection Officer, or an aspiring Artifical Intelligence Governance Professional, we have a solution for you. As the leading IAPP Training Partner in the UK, we can offer CIPP/E, CIPM and the new AIGP courses, delivered both in our Classroom and in our Live, Instructor led environments. These courses are intrinsically linked with what we do - deliver training that helps clients grow and develop their careers, as well as addressing the concerns around emerging technologies.
Why should I use you? Aren't there loads of training Companies?
You're absolutely right, there are loads of Training companies out there, all with varying costs and varying capabilities. Some are Accredited to deliver their courses, others are not. For those who are not, this results in a poor outcome for course attendees.
"It's all about the Quality, really" - a phrase which is very much in our mindset. We only deliver Accredited training courses that lead to Certification. Our Partnerships include, amongst others, ISC2.org, the leading provider of Cyber Security training, Cert Nexus for Artificial Intelligence training, TOGAF for Enterprise Architecture considerations and the Cloud Security Alliance for their brilliant CCSK Certifications. Whenever we create a Partnership, we only use approved materials, directly from the Course Administrators. This ensures we deliver the correct Quality, the most relevant and up to date materials - and all at the best price possible. For our own developed courses, we Certify these as compliant with the quality mark, ISO 17024-1. This ensures that all of our courses deliver real world value.
With a focus on our core business delivery goals - technology-driven, skills-centred and quality focussed - we can deliver training opportunities that deliver success, in formats that suit our growing client base.
Our Approach
For too long, training has been a case of delivery, rote learning and certification, with no real engagement from trainees. The net result of this is that employees have ticked the boxes, but haven’t retained the necessary knowledge, or considered its application. At The Training Centre, we deliver our Courses in a blended learning format, a technique which is now used in modern-day classrooms and universities across the country. Blended learning consists of a combination of Live Online delivery, embedded team exercises, mini-tests and discussion which delivers diversity and therefore increases engagement and motivation. With the discussion sections allowing for autonomy, and the opportunity for learners to demonstrate that they have understood, rather than simply learnt, we believe this delivers a more engaging, solutions focussed learning experience. The end result of this? Our trainees perform better on the courses themselves, and later in the workplace.
As an ISO 9001 certified company, we are dedicated to the continuous development and improvement of our courses and their delivery. The cornerstone of this is client feedback. We value all kinds of feedback from our trainees, and we spend a great deal of time investigating how this feedback can lead to tangible enhancements to our offerings at The Training Centre.
Making Training Accessible
We understand that the two most significant barriers to training are time and money. With blended programmes, the short duration of the courses limits time away from the office. On the financial side of things, and for our UK customers only at this time, we offer Direct Debit payment for all our courses, so you can spread the cost over a 6 or 12-month period. For courses up to and including £1200 (or €1500), we offer 6-month payment plans, with 12-month plans available for all other courses. These plans are all provided at 0% interest, and we don’t carry our credit checks, so your rating will not be harmed by applying for this. This also means we never turn anyone away for finance, no matter your credit history.
