Training Consultancy Projects
Training Consultancy with Purpose
At Penguin Learning, we believe that the most effective development happens when learning is built around the real challenges your people face every day. That’s why we don’t offer one-size-fits-all programmes. Instead, we work as your training consultancy partner—designing tailored management development solutions that build capability, shift culture, and deliver measurable impact.
We specialise in leadership and management development, supporting organisations of all sizes to upskill their people at every level—from first-time managers to senior leaders.
Tailored Programmes, Built Around You
Whether you’re looking to build a pipeline of confident team leaders or shift how your leadership team drives performance, we help you build the right learning journey.
Our consultancy process begins with understanding your goals, challenges, and context. We then co-design training programmes that reflect your values, tone of voice, and operational realities. The result is learning that sticks—because it feels relevant, practical, and personal.
Our programmes have supported organisations across a wide range of industries including finance, engineering, hospitality, education, construction, retail, technology, logistics, sustainability, insurance, and legal services.
A Scientific Approach to People Development
We incorporate world-class insights through TTI Success Insights' psychometric suite, giving individuals and teams a deeper understanding of behaviour, motivation, and emotional intelligence.
Our toolkit includes:
DISC – Behavioural preferences and communication styles
Driving Forces – Core motivators that influence engagement
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) – Self-awareness, empathy, and interpersonal impact
DNA Profiles – Leadership competencies and development priorities
Acumen Capacity Index – How individuals process and interpret information
From 1-2-1 coaching with entrepreneurs to high-impact team workshops, senior leader recruitment, customer service improvement, and leadership development—these assessments help shape learning around the individual, not just the role.
Maximising Your Investment: Apprenticeship Levy Programmes
As an approved provider, Penguin Learning also offers ILM-accredited management apprenticeships—fully fundable through the Apprenticeship Levy.
Our programmes include:
- ILM Level 3 Team Leader/Supervisor – For emerging managers building foundational leadership skills
- ILM Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager – For experienced managers developing strategic and operational capabilities
These structured, work-based learning journeys combine formal training, coaching, and assessment—enabling participants to develop real skills in real time.
Your People, Our Priority
Our consultancy isn’t about delivering off-the-shelf content—it’s about shaping meaningful learning experiences that drive growth. Whether you’re redesigning your leadership pipeline, aligning training with strategy, or embedding behavioural change, we bring the insight, tools, and experience to make it happen.
Let’s build a learning culture that empowers your people to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a training consultancy and why do we need one?
A training consultant acts as an external expert to help your organisation identify, plan, and execute a training strategy. You need a consultant when you have a performance problem but aren't sure of the cause, want to develop a new training programme, or need to ensure your training budget is spent effectively to achieve a measurable return on investment (ROI).
What is the process for a training consultancy project?
Our typical process involves four key stages:
- Needs Analysis: We conduct interviews and surveys to understand your challenges and goals.
- Strategy & Design: We develop a bespoke training plan, including learning objectives and content outlines.
- Implementation: We can deliver the training ourselves or help you select and manage a third-party provider.
- Evaluation: We work with you to measure the impact of the training and provide a report on the results.
We already have an internal L&D team. How can you help?
We often work in partnership with internal L&D teams. We can provide an objective, external perspective, bring specialised expertise (e.g., in behavioural assessments), and provide additional capacity for large-scale projects, allowing your internal team to focus on daily operations.
