Our training services

Drawing upon our own experience of leading university teams, our training is always practical in its approach and focuses on student services management, welfare incident management, mental health awareness, managing clinical risk and safeguarding issues.

Our experience

The higher education sector is unlike any other. Training that does not take account of the unique working relationship between a university and its students, or the specific regulatory regime that governs the sector, can fall wide of the mark.

​

All our trainers at Plinth House have significant experience as managers in higher education. We understand the pressures involved in working in higher education today - including rising demand for support from students, students presenting at higher levels of risk, and colleagues' increasingly complex interactions with other stakeholders, such as students' parents.

 

All our training content and case studies draw upon our practical experience of working in the sector ourselves, as well as our trainers' extensive experience in other sectors - including the NHS, local government and equality/inclusion.

Mode of delivery

Delivering training face-to-face has many advantages, especially when the training is designed to challenge people's ways of thinking and change behaviour. It generally offers the best route to getting participants to engage, reflect, and open up.

 

However, delivery in-person can have its downsides. It can be tricky to roll out across a whole institution and difficult for colleagues working remotely or on shift patterns to attend.

​

We can deliver training in a wide range of modes, including:

  • face-to-face training, workshops and away day events

  • live online training sessions

  • webinars - both live and recorded

  • audio podcasts

  • eLearning packages

We can tailor our training courses to fit with your needs and the needs of your team; you are welcome to contact us to discuss how any of the above courses can be adapted or combined to deliver the outcomes you are looking for.
