“The Sussex Training Consortium have worked with McCrudden Training/Ascento for nearly 5 years. We worked closely together to develop a bespoke Management Programme for new and aspiring managers in late 2021. This programme has successfully been rolled out several times a year, and we have trained nearly 140 managers with essential management skills to assist them to create a positive management culture and environment within our Partner Councils. The customer service I have experienced has always been very positive and responsive, and the customer experience from the delegates’ perspective has always received excellent feedback. “

We work with managers to:

  • Use coaching techniques in day-to-day leadership
  • Ask better questions and challenge constructively
  • Support team development without micro-managing
  • Encourage accountability and ownership

Influencing without authority, negotiation skills, problem solving and decision making, dealing with difficult people.


When is this the best option?

Commercial training works best when you need:

  • Immediate upskilling
  • Targeted development around a specific skill or challenge
  • Support for employees who are not eligible for funded routes
  • A way to reinforce or complement existing training programmes
  • Flexible delivery that fits around your business

If you’re looking for structured, long-term development with funded options, our apprenticeship programmes  may be a better fit. If you need quick, practical impact, this is where commercial training adds real value to your team.

 

 

How it works

Our commercial training is designed to be flexible and practical.

  • Short, focused session - typically one-day workshops
  • Delivered face-to-face or online
  • Tailored to your organisation and challenges
  • Led by experienced facilitators with real-world leadership experience

This is not theory-heavy training. It’s designed to be applied immediately in the workplace.

“We recently ran a two-day leadership course for our Primary Care staff, involving a wide mix of roles from across the organisation, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.The sessions were delivered flawlessly, with staff fully engaged throughout both days. The feedback received afterwards was overwhelmingly positive, and word quickly spread across teams, resulting in even more staff requesting to attend future leadership training opportunities. “
