This is your essential guide to help you decide which of our training services will best meet your requirements.

When is a public course best?

Our public courses offer individuals the opportunity to learn with other individuals from different organisations with different backgrounds to network, gain new ideas and to share their experiences and problems. It is an excellent and cost effective way to meet a single training requirement, at any one time. Public courses give you these options:

  1. You can attend one of our public courses at our Crawley or Basingstoke training centres.
  2. You can opt for a closed course to be held at Crawley or Basingstoke training centres. This is ideal if you want a group of people you need training at the same time on one of our published public courses. You can also adapt one of our courses to reflect a specific training requirement in your organisation. It is a cost effective option and you can select a date that meets you exact timing requirements.

You can search all Thales Training & Consultancy courses using the top right Thales courses search box. You can also contact us on 0800 028 3045 or email us.

I can’t find the course I want from your public schedule

Not a problem. If you want a course that is not on our public schedule, but still want a pre prepared course. In this instance, you can select your training from over 2000 courses provided by our preferred suppliers at locations throughout the UK.

To find a course provided by us our vetted, preferred training suppliers use our search box and email your requirement to us. We will contact you with details of all the courses, locations and discounts we provide.

When would I need a bespoke course?

If you want a course or training programme that is specific to your organisations needs, our bespoke service offers flexible and cost effective solutions.

The complete bespoke programme

More organisations are choosing bespoke learning and development programmes to reflect their continuous improvement needs. When you require a tailored programme, from the outset we take time to fully understand your organisation’s learning requirements, company culture and its values. This ensures the end result is an individually designed programme. Discover how we add value to your organisation’s bespoke Learning & Development programmes.

Adapted public courses

Our extensive range of public courses means we can adapt and deliver each of them to meet your distinct requirements, including course duration, course objectives and practical activities.

Direct from our course schedule

We can deliver all our public courses on an in company basis for a team or group of individuals. The course can be delivered at one of our training centres or at a venue of your choice. All you have to do is decide the time and place.

To discuss specific learning requirements contact Karen Osborn on 0800 028 3045.

How can I use your procurement service?

We recognise that we can’t offer every training course through our public courses. That’s why we have partnerships with over 20 selected UK training providers. Our very high standards means all our partners have been rigorously vetted by our training procurement team before they can work with us. Not only do you benefit from over 2000 diverse courses and training locations to choose from, we will also negotiate a better price for your training than if you go direct to the supplier. We do the price negotiations, administration – saving you time. And the more people that need training - the better the discount.

When would I need a managed service?

Our managed learning service is your opportunity to make your life easier. You can opt for a fully managed service or just the part you need. Managed Service makes commercial sense for these key cost and time savings reasons:

  • Opportunity to reduce headcount in administration services
  • Benefit from our better commercial deals on 3rd party supply
  • Cost savings on Purchase Order usage
  • HR team spend time on critical issues not on administrative activities
  • Reduce supplier management costs
  • We'll action all training admin and logistics
  • We'll source and manage all 3rd party training suppliers
  • We'll raise all Purchase Orders relating to training spend
  • We'll implement our portal to allow course bookings to be made in a few minutes
  • We'll produce reports at the click of a button
