Training Matters South-West is convinced that investing in training provides development opportunities for people giving them a feeling of wellbeing at work that can result in improved productivity. Investing in training for a workforce, community, social group, or class of pupils demonstrates a commitment to valuing people and empowering them to implement what they have learned in their everyday lives.
Training Matters South-West believes that training should be tailored to the needs of those who are being trained. Training materials are developed and adapted as required for each training session and we are keen to listen to our clients in order understand what they want. There is no one size fits all in our training and we pride ourselves on providing individualised packages.

Our Nordic Walking Instruction uses the INWA Ten Step method which guarantees that you will receive the highest standard of instruction which gives benefits that other techniques are not able to achieve.
I attended the one-day NUCO Mental Health First Aider Course with Sue in November 2021.
I requested the course not only as I felt it would enhance my role as a Compliance Instructor here at Princess Yachts but would also make me a more rounded employee to enable me to offer this service to a colleague in need. I really enjoyed the day and wish to use this opportunity to thank Sue for her work.
Sue delivered 3 Mental Health training sessions for Farms for City Children. The sessions were insightful and thought provoking with good training materials and case studies and we left the sessions with a much better understanding of how to offer support and help.
