Benefits of using Glide Training
There are many training providers out there. So what makes Glide Training so special? Well here are a few reasons.
We give you what you need
We don’t believe in a “these are the courses we offer, take it or leave it” approach. We work on a fully bespoke basis and design our courses around what you need. Before delivering any training we will have a thorough consultation with you to assess your requirements. We can even adjust courses on the day if anybody is at a higher or lower skill level than anticipated.
This ensures we will be training the right people with the right kind of content at the right level.
Our starting point is your end point
Sometimes training courses can be little more than a run through of a list of features available, with little in the way of context or attention paid to why people might need to know about these features. Our approach is the exact opposite. We start by asking what problems people need to solve, and work backwards from there to build a course schedule that’s relevant.
This ensures the people we train will be gaining real benefit they can apply in their work every day.
We deploy our experience to suit the situation
At Glide Training our trainers have on average over 20 years’ experience in their field. We don’t take on any trainers that haven’t proved their worth by successfully training in their specialised subject for many years and building a strong reputation for getting results. The trainer assigned to you will always be the person we believe has the most appropriate skill set and experience for your particular situation.
This ensures you will always be trained by the best in the business.
You get what you pay for
Cheap training is a false economy. If people don’t remember what they’ve been taught, whether that’s down to inexperienced trainers, generic off-the-peg course content or lack of post-training support, then the cold hard fact is you’ve wasted your money. You’re far better off working with a provider that gives you an honest price based on what you need to achieve your aims.
Our costs reflect the fact that you’ll be getting a high-quality tailored service with unparalleled support.
Our customers vouch for us
We have worked with a wide range of companies from startups and SMEs to multinationals in various industries, as well as charities and public sector organisations. The one thing they have in common is that they have all received a service that was dedicated to solving their specific problems, and they’re happy to go on the record and say so.
Our reviews and testimonials speak for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can we be sure that the training will be relevant to our business? ▼
Our training is all bespoke, so we design training workshops that meet the exact needs of your teams that also inform the wider objectives of the organisation.
We won't include anything that is not relevant to your business.
How many people can join a training session? ▼
Our training workshops are very interactive and practical with plenty of time for individual questions and help, so we recommend a maximum of 10 people per workshop.
We can however work to your requirements and over the years we have delivered to groups ranging from 1 person to 700 people!
What if people can't remember everything we covered - will we receive any reference materials? ▼
Yes, depending on the workshop, you will receive at least one of the following:
- PDF reference notes
- Sample files to practise with
- Topic-specific slides
- AI prompt builders
- Access to YouTube videos and blog posts
We can also record your online workshop for viewing post-training.
What is the optimum length of a training workshop? ▼
We would recommend a minimum of 90 minutes up to a full day. Many people prefer a full day as it gives them more time to focus and apply their learning with the trainer's support.
However for others, a half day (3 hours) works well - or we can schedule multiple 90 minute workshops within a day for you.
How do we ensure that the team doesn't forget what they learnt? ▼
During our workshops, the team will be relating their learning to real-world examples. This provides the starting point for them to apply their learning to their work. We encourage conversations between managers and team members to ensure that this continues to happen.
Follow up/refresher workshops and/or a facilitated peer group office hours session a few weeks after the training are hugely beneficial. Floorwalking and 1 to 1 drop in surgeries are a great way to keep the learning going and for team members to get help with their unique problems.
We also offer 3 months post training support on the topics covered.

Why choose Glide?
Our Unique Approach
We work on a bespoke, requirements-led basis rather than offer a set range of courses. We will work with you to identify your specific requirements and objectives before any training is delivered. That way you can be sure that training will always deliver exactly what you're looking to achieve.
Our Prices
