We do this by providing training services and solutions to retailers, consumer goods manufacturers and third-party companies supplying them, such as accountants, consultants, technology companies and third-party logistics providers. We specialise in retail operational skills and related subjects, focused to improve learners’ skill levels and career potential and to deliver the benefits listed in the previous paragraph.
Our training portfolio is all developed by experienced former retailers with at least 10 years retail experience each, having held at least one significant management position. The table below summarises the functional areas in our client base where we provide skills training.

How Do you Buy our Classes?
Our classes can be purchased by individuals through our online shop. Prices can be shown in £, €, or US $ by selecting the appropriate currency.
Our classes are also organised into Learning Paths and you can buy a complete learning path at a discount. A learning path is a specific recommended curriculum for a job role. For example, there are separate learning paths for Merchandise Assistant, Assistant Merchandiser, Merchandiser, Merchandise Planner and Merchandise Manager. You can use these as a guide to help you plan your needs or you can ask us for assistance (free of charge).
Classes bought through the web site are run on our Learning Management System. Some clients buy a corporate licence for a large number of people, which are most often run on their internal computer systems.
As we progress with our web site upgrade, we will publish details of all our learning paths on this site. In the meantime, please ask us about your specific interests.
