Welcome to Business Solutions

The Business Unit at Thames Valley University is offering all local companies a FREE training needs analysis which will identify your employees training needs. As a result they will write a proposal which will cover any funded training that is available together with Free to Learn and distance learning initiatives. It will also give you a list of all the training providers available within your budget and often with Industry specific experience. It is a fantastic opportunity to get impartial advice and can help to re-affirm business goals and strategy.

We have a wide variety of business courses including:

one day business seminars

half day taster workshops

customised and bespoke training

short courses – certificated and non-certificated

professional and vocational qualifications

mandatory courses and new legislation

One day business seminars
At Business Solutions, we understand the challenges employers face in training, motivating and retaining staff.
And, with our wealth of experience in training and development, we aim to provide realistic solutions to help your business grow or stay ahead of the competition.
Our One day business seminars are held locally in our dedicated training centre and at a business conference venue in central Berkshire.
From ‘Absence Management’ to ‘The power of positive communication’ or from ‘Employment Law’ to ‘Implementing an appraisal structure’, – our seminars are delivered by dynamic, highly experienced trainers in excellent surroundings.

Half day taster workshops
There is no point unless the training is relevant, good value and ultimately effective!
Our half day taster workshops are designed to meet the needs of the busy manager. Delivered locally over just half a day, they cover the main aspects and give you information and links should you want to further explore the subject.

Customised and bespoke training
Customised training to suit your business needs, budget and timescales.
After an initial FREE training needs analysis, one of our dynamic and highly experienced trainers will meet with you and your staff in order to scope and develop a programme of training that meets your needs specifically.
With a database of hundreds of accredited and quality assured trainers to choose from, we can often recommend someone with industry-specific experience at a highly competitive rate.
