Innovative Training Services (ITS) is committed to delivering exceptional results for our clients. Tailored training delivers both remarkable results and the best ROI.
You tell us your learning & development objectives and the time-frame, and we will work closely with you to achieve the training outcomes you’re looking for.
Outline of our one-on-one training process:
- We are briefed on the issues and areas of development which are relevant to the person’s role.
- All communication is strictly confidential.
- The training session is generally 2 hours. Because individual training is very targeted, a sizable amount of information can be covered in a two hour session.
- At the end of the session the person will have specific tasks to work on over the coming weeks. This will enable them to apply the strategies in real work-time, and provide a building-on effect for developing their skills.
- Two follow-up phone calls are made to reinforce the skills covered, and ascertain the person’s progress in applying content covered during the training session. This will be at two weeks and at a month.
- The number of sessions undertaken will depend on the skills being developed. Sessions are personalised to deliver maximum value.

What people say about our 1:1 mentoring & coaching
“My one-on one-coaching sessions have equipped me with the perfect platform to develop my leadership. Sessions were catered specifically to my needs, and coached in a way that empowered me. Providing me with the confidence to implement strategies, which has seen a significant amount of success across my teams. The ongoing support and coaching outside of the sessions has also kept me accountable and supported throughout my journey.”
Supervisor with 27 direct reports – Medical Centre (4 sessions, 1 month apart)
“The mentoring sessions were just what I needed to get a fresh perspective on issues with my staff and one manager. Marie is very knowledgeable and was able to zero in on what the real issues were and provide strategies for dealing with them. She set clear steps and strategies I was able to apply straight away. This resulted in a noticeable reduction in my stress levels, I didn’t realise just how wound-up I had become!”
