Business and Financial Training from The Matchett Group
What makes a Matchett Training Consultant? We have exceptional trainers at Matchett and this has not happened by chance. There are certain qualities and skills we look for when recruiting for our consultant team, which permeates all the way through to the Partners and Associates we engage with. Only around 1 in 10 potential trainers that comes our way ends up working with us: our clients are choosy!
We insist on employing professionals with extensive experience in business, this helps us design courses and curricula that get to the heart of the change you need to make. We know that 'fit' with your culture, structures and processes is critical. This hinges on the rigour we put in to pre-course consultancy, trainer preparation and post-course follow up. In this way we are, with our partners, always learning.
Let’s not overlook the performance in the classroom. Every week we get mountains of feedback referring to the 'fantastic trainer' who 'inspired', 'listened', 'responded', 'kept attention throughout', 'challenged' and 'brought the subject to life'. Whilst not averse to an appropriate sprinkling of technology as an aid to learning delivery, we pride ourselves on engaging on a deeper level and leaving a lasting impact on each and every learner.
