DEVELOPMENT WITH A DIFFERENCE

There are thousands of training and development providers you can use - so why choose us?

• We make the learning fun: we include games, puzzles, cartoons, funny stories, quotations and 'spot prizes' to add entertainment value to the day. You have the opportunity to win a sizeable amount of money while you learn!
  
  
• We provide inspiration, as well as information; we rise to the challenge of staff who are demotivated, disaffected or sceptical
  
  
• We are original, innovative, creative and enterprising - we have created radical new ways of learning, including a Reflections Gallery (reflect and learn from the objects on display); a 'Walk of Life' Game which identifies and values what people have learned in life; and various charity team building events
  
  
• We provide a 'travelling jukebox' to allow you to select your music for the day
  
  
• We bring a travelling library of relevant books and resources to support each programme, for participants to browse or borrow
  
  
• We use an electronic flip chart, so that any notes or feedback produced live on the day are immediately available for each participant
  
  
• We challenge, in a safe and supportive environment, what you do, what you feel, and what you think, to develop you and your organisation
  
  
• We don't use name badges - we remember your names, because you are important to us
  
  
• We adapt our style and approach during the day, to ensure it works for the learning preferences of the participants
  
  
• At the end of any day's programme, we are willing to chat on a one-to-one basis with anyone who has issues from the day they want to discuss or pursue further

ETD'S PHILOSOPHY:

We are a values-based organisation, working in partnership with our clients to help people learn.

We believe in enabling the learner to make choices. Sometimes your ability to choose is constrained by your lack of knowledge and/or skills. Our role is to give you access to knowledge, skills, processes and ideas, so that you are better able to make those choices with confidence

ETD'S GUARANTEES:

We are committed to meeting your learning and development needs as best we can, and will:

• focus on your needs and requirements
  
  
• work hard to make the programme or event relevant to your experience
  
  
• remain positive and enthusiastic throughout the programme
  
  
• provide equal opportunity and access to the learning for all participants, which includes tailoring and adapting the content, process and materials where appropriate
  
  
• take action which values and supports the diversity and differences of participants
