In-company training

Header 3 incompany training main page

Our In-Company Training service brings the Publishing Training Centre (PTC) to you. We will run training courses exclusively for you, at your own office or a venue of your choice. Every course is backed by the PTC’s longstanding expertise and experience. Your training can be an exclusive “off the shelf” delivery of an existing course or tailored to your requirements.

The cost of In-Company Training is based on a single inclusive quote for a maximum number of trainees, with no hidden extras.

Commissioning your training

For most companies, an existing PTC course will serve as the starting point for your tailored training programme. We will clarify whether your training needs can be met by a current course, with or without adaptation, or whether something more bespoke is required. Once your training needs have been agreed, we make a specific proposal and, when this is accepted, we commission the relevant tutor(s) to prepare the content and deliver the course, at the agreed time and place.

To find out more, please call 020 8874 2718 or email us and we will be in touch to discuss the options.

Why choose In-Company training?

You should choose In-Company Training if you:

have five or more numbers of staff to train in any one area: In-Company Training can prove cost-effective for groups of five or more
need to integrate company-specific information, systems or procedures into the course
need a hybrid training programme incorporating elements of two or more of our short courses
are not a mainstream publisher but still require specific publishing skills that need to be adapted to suit the particular requirements of your organisation.

Note: Usually our maximum number of delegates is 12. In the case of computer training, group sizes are much smaller, with a maximum of 8-10 delegates, depending upon the course.

How does it work?

You can contact us by telephone (020 8874 2718) or by email to begin the conversation.

We can clarify whether your training needs can be met by one of the current courses, with or without adaptation, or whether something more bespoke is required.
Once there is a mutual understanding as to your needs we make a specific proposal and, when this is accepted, we commission one of our tutors to undertake the required preparation and deliver the course, at the agreed time and place.
