Our approach

Our reputation as the sector's leading provider is built on 21 years of experience. Experience of challenging participants to do things differently – and in a safe environment. Experience of searching out the best tools and techniques – or designing our own where none are available. Experience of providing a choice of approaches to find the solutions most relevant to individual organisations. Organisations like yours.

With every programme we ensure:

  • Enjoyable, memorable learning: we enable participants to learn in a focussed and intensive way, balancing expert input with practical exercises, small group coaching and extended case studies. Participants are encouraged to try new ways of learning outside of their normal preference.
  • Sector relevance: our learning and development solutions are tailored specifically to meet the needs of the charities, public bodies, local authorities and cultural organisations we work with.
  • Outstanding people: we rigorously select the very best trainers and facilitators to join our team. Each trainer brings their own experience, making the programmes relevant and engaging to participants.
  • Practical solutions: learning isn't just about absorbing new models, theories and techniques. It's about being able to use them in real life. We encourage participants to work together to apply what they've learned to their individual action plans.
  • Extensive resources: all of our programmes are supported by detailed workbooks, covering not only all the programme content, but additional information to consolidate participants' learning after the training.
  • Award-winning training: it's not just our customers who say our learning and development is different. In 2008 we won the coveted National Training Award.

=mc has a wealth and breadth of knowledge, a terrific understanding and vast experience of the ethos and culture of the not-for-profit sector. This together with their 'anything is possible' approach made =mc an obvious choice for the RNLI to partner with, to develop and deliver in-house training for our staff.
