Professional Training
Developing your professional talent
Whether you’re a manager, salesperson or head office professional, we want to see you make the most of your talent. So from day one, you’ll find we offer extensive training and development. We’re proud of our programmes. But while we’ll do all we can to help you realise your potential, success will rest ultimately with you. To get the most from them, you should be adaptable and prepared for challenges. Bring these qualities, and you can look forward to a truly empowering experience.
Field Sales Training
During your first six months, you’ll embark on a program that will give you a clear understanding of our business. This begins with a 6 week course, supported with field based and residential learning. An experienced mentor will support you, and an Area Manager and team of Field Trainers will be on hand to offer advice, guidance and support.
After this, you’ll take responsibility for a sales territory. Over time, we’ll assess your performance and help strengthen your skills. Then we’ll give you the extra skills you need to manage and develop your area independently. This training will suit your individual needs and may happen in the classroom, at workshops or in the field.
Management Training
For managers and budding managers alike, we’ve a dedicated team of Leadership & Development professionals who’ll take responsibility for nurturing your talent. Our business recruits, rewards and develops against a Global Competency Framework and to support this, we’ve put in place courses and self help guides.
We also offer the Imperial Leadership Programme (aimed at senior talented individuals), the Imperial Management Development Programme (aimed at mid career talented individuals) and the International Career Management programme which is aimed at internationally mobile, early career talented individuals. These programmes are benchmarked externally and designed to allow people every opportunity to develop.
Training for everyone
It’s the aim of our small, dedicated team of Learning and Development professionals to support our business and develop everyone within it.
