Pontydysgu offers a wide range of training provision which can be tailored to the client’s specific needs. However, the list below includes some of the more popular course-based training modules we can provide. Any of the topics can be adapted and contextualised for particular groups and can be provided in a variety of ways. We can deliver training 7 days a week, including evenings and we can provide full after course support and mentoring. We can arrange training, together with accommodation in Pontypridd, Wales or are happy to travel anywhere in the world to provide training.

The training is led by Jenny Hughes and Graham Attwell, both of whom are experienced trainers. For more specialist courses we have a wide pool of experienced trainers who we call upon for specific programmes.
