Derby training centre
Our East Midlands centre, on Pride Park in Derby. A short walk from the railway station, straight off the A52, and ten minutes from junction 25 of the M1.
Inside the centre
What the Derby centre is like
Reception is on the door, the training rooms are proper rooms rather than a corner of an office, and there is a coffee shop on the estate.
The rooms are laid out for classroom delivery with a screen everybody can see, and there is breakout space for the lunch hour. Course materials are included in the price.
It is the sensible choice if Stoke is the wrong side of the A50 for you, and it covers Derby, Nottingham, Burton and the wider M1 corridor.
- Reception on the door, sign in on arrival
- Modern training rooms with clear sight lines
- Breakout space for the lunch hour
- Covers Derby, Nottingham, Burton and the M1 corridor

Or we come to you
Training at your place instead
Almost everything we run at Derby we will also run on your site, anywhere in the UK. For a group of six or more that usually costs less than sending people out, and nobody loses half a day travelling.
You need a room that seats the group and a wall to project onto. We bring the tutor, the paperwork and the accreditation, and certificates come back to us to register and issue.

- Group rates from six people
- Most onsite courses booked in within two to three weeks
