Our constantly expanding programme of interactive seminars and workshops - over 37 at the last count - can be accessed in a number of ways. As an individual, your local Business Link or Chamber of Commerce may be offering a Pink Elephant course as part of their business support programme. For example, in South Yorkshire, a number of exclusive business skill improvement courses appear in the joint South Yorkshire Chambers training brochure.

We also offer a regular selection of the most requested courses as part of our 'Blueprint for Success' programme. This is an open course programme currently delivered in South Yorkshire and East Midlands with plans to expand topics and venues in 2010 /11.

Are you looking for something more tailored to your specific needs. Then why not build your own? Using our own professional training needs analysis system we help you design your very own training course. We provide the course – including specialist tutors – you provide the people and venue (or use our facilities and we do the rest)
