About us
Established in 1999, Abbeydale Training provides high quality, bespoke training solutions to an impressive list of long-standing and very loyal clients including DLA Piper (one of the world's largest law firms), Princes Food and the UK Houses of Parliament (since 2011) as well as hundreds of smaller organisations in both the public and private sector.
Sarah Brooks', (joint MD of Abbeydale Training and the trainer on these courses) has a friendly style of delivery that, of course, includes theory but mainly focusses how it translates into real-life experiences. We have always used story-telling to bring our training to life and this has often been cited by delegates as an aspect of our training that has had the greatest impact for them - it has been gratifying to see that academic studies have recently confirmed and backed up our philosophy and approach.
Sarah has delivered training to thousands of people online and has always gets excellent reviews such as:
'This is my third course with Sarah this past week (obviously catching up on PD). But as I noted in a prior review, Sarah is a great presenter with some really good, common sense content. Definitely worth subscribing to her courses!'
'It is an informative and excellence course. It helps to broaden my understanding of learning skills, mentoring and coaching.'
'Yes very relevant to work situations frequently experienced.'
'Excellent course. Sometimes we think presentation skills are just common sense, but it's hard to articulate how to prepare for and deliver a great presentation. This course gave me confidence that these skills can be learned and honed through continuous practice.'
With over 7000 learners online Sarah has an average review score of 4.5 out of 5 and it is often said that Sarah is 'the best kept secret in the training world'
