Public service and VCSE training
We deliver a wide range of training programmes, and related services, across the public service sector (local and central government, non-departmental public bodies, NHS, schools, universities and research bodies) and for VCSEs (including housing associations).
Some of this work is done on a more or less ‘off the shelf’ basis, via The In-House Training Company, some of it on a more bespoke basis via our specialist sister brands, Maximum Performance, Maximum Coaching and Maximum HR.
The programmes listed below have been delivered to more than a hundred public service sector / VCSE clients within the last two years alone. (Some of the links will take you to other parts of this website, some to our sister site for Maximum Performance.)
We are proud to work with a great team of trainers (subject matter experts across a range of disciplines, all with extensive public service sector and VCSE experience) and a range of great clients. How could we be of service to you?
