Our Services

Unlike other companies, we do not believe in 'off the shelf'  training packages. We know from experience that for training to be effective it needs to be personalised to the distinct challenges that are to be overcome and to the training objectives and the unique people who are to be trained.

All training solutions offered by David Foster Associates Limited will be individual and personal to your particular business.

Methods of Delivery

  • One to one personal coaching (this can be for the one-person business entrepreneur or specific individuals in your company).

  • Two hour workshops. These are ideal for 2 or more people and can be linked to breakfast, lunch or dinner times. The timing of these workshops means that attendees can go out and put into practice their new skills and techniques within hours of learning about them.

  • Half / full day training courses. These are ideal for 2 or more people and very interactive.

  • 2 to 5 day courses. These are ideal for 2 or more people and could include allocated time for role plays and practice.

  • Distance learning and spontaneous reaction training. (Contact us for further details).

  • Our methods of training are inspirational, motivational, exciting, fun and they work!
