You will learn about what motivates your staff and how to keep them performing at their technical and personal best in your collective pursuit of organisation, finance and team goals. You will also leave with a variety of techniques for managing challenging conversations with your team, both as a group and individually.

The concepts explored will be brought to life with interactive tasks, practical exercises and tangible examples, so you can clearly relate the theory to your day-to-day role.

Attending events like this could contribute to six hours of verifiable CPD, so long as you can demonstrate that the content is relevant to your role.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.

To discuss in-house training for your business please email Academy or call Louise Thomas on +44 (0)20 7920 8733.

"The team at ICAEW were excellent from the start. They took time to understand our strategic plan and growth aspirations and built a programme around this. We are starting to see the fruits of it already. One of the key factors in the programme's success is that each participant is given one-to-one coaching, enabling them to focus on their own development." Richard Baker, Partner, Crowe Clark Whitehill
