The Matchett Group

Matchett Group - Customised business and professional skills training programmes

With a compelling story of success drawn from 40 years of outstanding delivery, the Matchett Group is a leading UK Business and Professional Skills training provider.

As a factor of their size, know-how and exceptionally high standards of performance, Matchett are uniquely placed to develop cutting-edge courses that provide measurable results for their customers. With the help of trainers who are at the top of their respective fields, their programmes are always set within the client's organisational context and never the kind of "off the shelf" solutions that try, and often fail, to meet the needs of companies operating in highly distinct environments. It is for this reason that Matchett always creates, tailors and adapts courses to be company-specific by taking the time to thoroughly explore and understand every client's needs.

Practical training for tangible business results

Matchett's 5 key areas of expertise are:

• Management Skills
• People Skills
• Self-Management Skills
• Core Skills
• Specialist Training

Though every course is a unique product that has been customised according to specific guidelines, there are some elements that are shared across all Matchett training solutions. To begin with, all courses benefit from the use of high quality training materials and, wherever possible, the accreditation of the relevant professional body. All programmes are also led by highly experienced Matchett trainers who work to engage, challenge and empower delegates to feel that they 'can', so that they 'do'. It is no coincidence that a strong commitment to continuing professional development (CPD), the ability to give clear feedback and a flexible approach are in fact all pre-requisites of becoming a Matchett trainer.

Finally, all Matchett courses are designed to be highly practical and interactive, utilising a range of different learning styles including: plenary sessions, simulations, exercises, role play and assessment. To contextualise the training, Matchett's consultants work with clients to develop relevant exercises, case studies and scenarios based on typical situations that attendees face in their roles. These case studies are often created from real life business cases that the organisation and the delegate(s) have been involved in, helping to put learning in context and to design courses that really get to the heart of the change that the company need to make.
