Training Packages

Pharmaceutical Packages

 

Training

We have used our extensive experience and expertise to create Training Works, a unique package tailored to meet the specific needs  of the training market. This flexible, value-added package recognises the needs of the trainer and delegates, giving you all the support and service you need to run your training sessions successfully, your way.

Training Works

We provide both day and residential packages for delegates in surroundings that encourage their study and learning. The package offers full trainer recognition, including guaranteed room upgrade with improved workspace and complimentary internet access. And our spacious, light and air conditioned training rooms include full equipment, technology, stationery and storage space.

We work alongside you to bring your training plans to life to ensure you get the best from your training time. Our venues promise clockwork running, trainer’s toolkit, break out area, themed breaks and a choice of buffet or restaurant lunch.

We’re here to help you train better.

 

The complete package


One of the things that makes us different is our fully inclusive package. This means we take care of every little thing, from the finer details at first contact, to a successful event on the day itself, and it’s all included in the price.

Following your policies

We recognise that sometimes you have training policies designed to enhance the delegate’s learning experience. These may range from disabling in-room phones and movie feeds, to observing curfews or alcohol restrictions. We are happy to support these requests to ensure that your delegates get the most out of their training course.

 

Make a day of it

If you are with us for a day, the standard Day Delegate rate includes:

  • Hire of your main training suite to make your event a success
  • Tea, coffee or mineral water refreshments on arrival to start the day
  • Fresh fruit available in the room during the morning for a healthy snack
  • Further refreshments and snacks throughout the day for a well-earned break
  • Carefully selected lunch menu choices designed to revitalise your delegates and provide extra energy for the rest of the day
  • Confectionery kick in your training room for a sweet tooth
  • In some locations, a pre-booked post lunch health club energiser can overcome the post lunch slowdown*

In the room

  • Your main training room will generally have natural daylight, blackout facilities and air conditioning – the perfect set-up to help your delegates feel relaxed, comfortable and be at their most creative◊
  • Extended set-up/clear down time so no training time is wasted – the room is always prepared 2 hrs before start time

  • Stationery pack with guaranteed supply of post-it notes, pens and pencils
  • LCD projector and screen for high impact, high visibility presentations

  • Complimentary storage facility for training materials
  • Recycling receptacle for paper

At the venue

  • Creative and inspiring themed breaks to keep delegates in the ‘right frame of mind’
  • Flexible lunch formats designed to suit your agenda

Looking after the trainer

We know how stressful it can be to organise a training event, particularly when it’s in full swing, so we do everything we can to make life easier for the trainer. For example, we include things like:

  • Guaranteed room upgrade wherever possible, with improved workspace and complimentary internet accessΔ
  • Complimentary reserved parking where we can†
  • Waive room service tray charges
  • Complimentary early or late check-in
  • A porter service for training materials

Stay overnight

Our residential training package includes everything available in the day rate above, together with a comfortable bedroom, a hearty breakfast and a three course restaurant dinner to make your delegate’s experience positive and rewarding. Menus can be tailored to suit your individual requirements and will vary throughout your visit.
