This option is for you if your business needs a bespoke, cost-effective programme that is tailored to your needs. We will meet with you to develop the curriculum and the way in which we deliver the programme, for example as training days, a series of lectures, seminars or workshops, or more formal short courses and longer-term qualifications. You may wish to start with a small, one day training session on a specific topic and then gradually expand the delivery to a recognised university qualification. Delivery can be undertaken at your workplace, at the University of Leeds or elsewhere (residential or non-residential).

Work-Based Learning
We have developed a successful model of accredited work-based learning with small and medium-sized companies and social enterprises. Content, time and length of programme is negotiated with employer and employees who then undertake projects which have real benefits for their work. We deliver in the workplace and, in order to keep costs as low as possible, work with companies to find external sources of funding.
