Based in Plymouth, and serving the whole of Devon and Cornwall, we work alongside businesses to deliver training that enables individuals to develop their skills whilst supporting the commercial objectives of their employers.

GHQ Professional
We are very pleased to introduce you to our GHQ Professional range of courses specifically aimed at improving the efficiency and productivity of managers across the southwest. Many research projects over recent years have identified a lack of productivity in business and industry in the UK, and more especially in the southwest This is nearly always attributed to our managers being promoted for having excellent technical skills but never being given the opportunity to learn a completely new set of skills, which they need to enable them to perform effectively in a management role.

Bespoke Programmes
We recognise that all business organisations are different so GHQ does not offer an off the shelf, one size fits all, package for each client.

As a local, independent provider with 25 years’ experience of working with business, GHQ not only passionately believes in the real benefits of developing employees, but also understands the constraints of time and resources your business is subject to. To this end we have developed a team of trainers and advisors who can respond to your needs with a flexible and agile approach, building relationships that support your organisation over the long term.

Government Funding
Throughout its 25 years GHQ has enjoyed direct contracting with the Government for apprenticeships and other work based learning. This enables us to provide a wide range of courses and development solutions that often attract funding for eligible employers and their staff.

We are also an approved ILM centre and many of our programmes are recognised and accredited by them.

So whether you are a new manager with aspirations to progress your career to the top, or a senior manager who needs additional skills to ensure the organisation is performing to its full potential, GHQ Professional has a course for you.
