2. Our Training Ethos
• We are committed to promoting anti-discriminatory practice in training. This
commitment has enabled us to develop strategies and ways of working that
remove barriers to learning and encourage inclusion. We use participatory
approaches, encouraging people to draw on their experience to develop
their own and each other's learning. Sweet trainers are skilled in allowing
learners to discover their own internal barriers that prevent their personal
and continuous development as managers.
• We deliver training in varied ways to ensure the engagement of all including;
icebreakers, energisers and quizzes while our case studies, role plays and
scenarios are always up-to-date and relevant to the topic.
• We enable people to use theory to inform practice. When presentations are
given they are short, relevant and evidence based. Participants are always
given opportunities to reflect on new information and apply it to their own
experience and workplace.
• Each course involves learners setting immediate and medium-term
individual SMART goals to take back to the workplace. These can then
monitored by his/her line manager.
• The recognition of the diversity of backgrounds, differing learning styles
(activist/theorist/ reflector/pragmatist) and individual preference for small or
large group activity runs through all of our courses.
