What to expect
Our open training courses are professional, stimulating, inspiring, interesting and above all practical. Here is a flavour of what to expect if you come on a Pinnacle course.
Practical
Your course will be heavy on reality and light on theory. We will introduce the concepts clearly, then focus on real-world skills that connect the big picture to your everyday work. Courses are updated regularly and trainers are active in the industry so your new knowledge will be fresh and relevant.
Active
Your course will consist of concise briefings on key points of best practice, backed up by multimedia clips and interactive learning activities like workshops, role-plays, case study analysis, coaching, brainstorms and structured group discussions. You will not have to sit passively through long lectures.
Stimulating
Your course will be interesting, varied and intellectually stimulating with a relaxed and professional style. Our trainers are not just experts in their field; they are good-humoured enthusiasts who will make your time enjoyable and leave you inspired.
Individual
Your group will be small – no more than six people. You will get personal attention for the issues that matter to you, and you can shape your training: small groups give us flexibility to adapt a course to the needs of each particular group.
Learning environment
Our training centre is bright, modern, centrally located, and a pleasant place to learn. Classrooms are equipped in boardroom style with big plasma screens and WiFi. We will fuel you up with fresh fruit and snacks, fair-trade tea, coffee, smoothies and juices, and let you relax during breaks on our rooftop balcony. (see facilities)
Materials
You will take away an extensive training pack, including a reference manual and collateral such as checklists, case studies and laminated sheets. Subject to completion, you will receive a certificate endorsed by the International Public Relations Association (IPRA) www.ipra.org (see accreditation).
