Training and Knowledge Development

Our innovative training team specialises in the provision of tailored training initiatives, professional qualifications and related knowledge development services. 

Professional Courses

At present, Harley Reed is an accredited centre for the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (“CIPS”) and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport International (“CILT”). Internationally, we also deliver the ACCA professional courses. We offer classroom, blended and distance learning programmes for most of our programmes. Full information on each of these programmes can be found on the links to the right.

Vocational Courses

In the UK, we work closely with a number of colleges to support and deliver vocational courses. These programmes include the Apprenticeships in the following fields:

  • Health and Social Care
  • Business Administration
  • Customer Services
  • Management
  • Accounting and Finance
  • Logistics and Distribution

The apprenticeships training programme is extremely attractive to both organisations and individuals:

Benefits  to Apprentices Benefits to Employers
  • Earn a salary whilst you learn on the job - all employed apprentices must receive a wage of no less than £2.50 per hour. However the average wage per week for an apprentice is now around £170
  • Recieve significant funding from the government for your training (100% for  16-18 year olds)
  • Recieve paid holidays
  • Gain recognised qualifications
  • Training apprentices can also be more cost effective than hiring skilled staff
  • Fill your specific skill gaps - apprenticehips deliver skills around your specific requirements
  • Have a motivated workforce - they have made an active choice to learn on the job and a commitment to a specific career

If you are resident in the UK and interested in doing an apprenticeship, please use the training enquiry form to contact us.

Short Courses and Management Programmes

Outside of professional courses, we run a number of short programmes spanning the fields of leadership, management, CSR, sustainability, human resources, supply chain management, and finance.

It is becoming increasing difficult to find management courses that go further than theoretical concepts to address the real-life challenges that most professionals face today. We offer a refreshing approach, combining leading practitioners from many fields, with interactive learning experiences and networking.

Please download our 2011 international course brochure to see our senior management courses for the year. Additionally, our Ghana office has released a programme of short courses for all staff levels which can also be downloaded.

In all other countries, we provide bespoke course development and delivery. Contact us if you would like a no obligation discussion. We also conduct training needs assessments for all types of organisation.
