Simulated Training
Immerse yourself in business learning, with real-life scenarios. Decisions have to be taken, judgements made and all in real-time. It is a safe and secure environment where you can develop your management and leadership skills, through action and then reflection - to learn for the time it really happens…
The tools are developed specifically to engage you – the adrenalin pumps, the emotions rise to the surface and you are tested, as if in reality.

He did not then account for the increased amount of information that comes at us in the 21st century world and the disturbances that we deal with – emails, social media and and…
