Courses are generally a combination of information-giving and practical work on
realistic cases and situations, including queries brought by participants
themselves. All course participants are given packs of background information
for future reference.
Trainers draw on their wide experience of the ‘letter of the law’ and on its practical
application gained from dealing with hundreds of enquiries from workers to the PERS Advice
Lines.
‘Tailored Training’
PERS can offer training that is tailored as precisely as possible to the needs and
requirements of participants. We are always happy to discuss these in advance and to
adapt existing courses for your organisation, or design a new course specifically for
your needs.
We prefer to train a group of between 6 and 20 people. We do not have our own training
premises and require a room and a flipchart. We welcome the provision of refreshments,
especially on longer courses!

‘Off The Peg’ Training
Our ‘off the peg’ training provides popular courses on a range of employment rights and
management issues. These participative courses are limited to 25 people, and aim to give an
overview of employment law, and how it impacts small organisations, using presentations and
case studies.
If you are interested in our training courses and would like to discuss your needs please

Testimonials
"It was exactly what we wanted and it went down really well with all the
participants." (About commissioned training.)
Judith Hickman,
Enterprise
Operations Manager, Tenants Hall Enterprise
Centre.
"The level of understanding and professionalism for such intense topics has been outstanding.
I find that the trainers absolutely understand where the customer is coming from and they respond
in a way that helps everyone to understand. It is not an easy task to make anyone redundant, but
with the right kind of training and support behind you, it can make it as painless as possible."
"Newlands Enterprise staff have received training and support from PERS for several years.
We have attended training and workshops and also enjoyed bespoke training for our staff and
volunteer management committee."
~ Anita M Bolland, Project Manager
