Can I do a Train the Trainer course in Bristol?
Ascent runs its two-day Train the Trainer course in-house for organisations in Bristol and the surrounding area, live online, and as open courses at its South Wales venue in Maesteg, around 65 miles from Bristol via the M4. Open places cost £425 per delegate.
Bristol's big employers train constantly: aerospace engineers around Filton passing on specialist knowledge, defence procurement teams at Abbey Wood, clinical educators across the city's NHS trusts, staff at the University of Bristol and UWE, and fast-growing tech and financial services firms onboarding new hires every month.
We're a Welsh training provider just over the bridge, and we work with Bristol organisations in whichever way suits them, usually in-house, so a whole team learns together using its own examples. The content is the same everywhere: how adults learn, session design, confident delivery and facilitation, and evaluation, with three micro-teaches and structured feedback.

In-house in Bristol.
For Bristol organisations, in-house is usually the best fit. We deliver at your premises, tailor the examples and practice topics to your sector, and run the micro-teaches with your own content, so people go back to their desks with sessions they can use. Send us your team size and dates and we'll come back with a quote within two working days.

Questioning, group dynamics and the participant who doesn't want to be there.

Slides that support learning, and live-online sessions that stay interactive.
Evaluation
The Kirkpatrick model and a personal development plan you'll actually use.

Paying for it from Bristol.
ReACT+ is a Welsh Government scheme for people who live in Wales, so it doesn't cover Bristol residents. Most Bristol delegates are funded from their employer's learning and development budget, and for groups of four or more, in-house delivery at your site is usually the simplest option. If you live in Wales but work in Bristol and are facing redundancy, you may still be eligible for ReACT+.
