Our global training programme is regularly updated to reflect the changing needs of today's research professionals. For autumn 2023 we have expanded our offer with new courses on AI powered insights to keep up to date with this latest development. Our training also provides you with:  

  • Safe learning environment - Our virtual courses give you anywhere access meaning you can learn, safely and collaboratively, no matter where you are in the world.  
  • Expert trainers - you get access to highly experienced research professionals who use active learning techniques giving context to help with your retention of course material.
  • Learning objectives - our courses meet defined learning objectives, with tailored  support materials and shorter sections for online to help with learning.  

PLEASE NOTE: The majority of our courses are run as live Zoom sessions, although the courses that work more effectively in person (ie Presentation Skills) are held at our Training Suite in Clerkenwell, London.

Personal Influence and Impact

Research is a ‘people’ business: it is built upon relationships and influence. Clients, whether internal or external, will listen to, and be influenced by, those who sell the benefits to them of doing so, who deliver their definition of ‘value’ and whom they trust and respect. The astute researcher recognises the importance of the ‘emotional’ elements of business (communication, relationships, influence and impact), and knows how to leverage these for both personal and organisational impact.
