Bespoke business training
to transform your career

Strawberry Lodge business training centre in Carshalton

We offer you a simple choice.

You can enjoy one of our business training courses at Strawberry Lodge, our fully refurbished, 17th century South London training centre. Or we can bring the training direct to your workplace - we train across the UK and EU.

We provide bespoke business training in six categories:

Local government training with a difference
How many training courses are truly tailored to the needs of local government employees?

How many take into account that each local authority is different and may require a different kind of training?

Our ‘Writing for local government’ course is one of the few that allows for these differences. We let you specify what aspects of local government writing you want us to address and at what level you want us to pitch the training.

If you wish, we’ll tailor the entire course around examples of writing produced by your local authority.

For more details, visit: Writing for local government.

Professional writing courses for bloggers
Among the many professional writing courses we run, two are designed specifically for bloggers or those planning to write a blog.

Both address all the key issues of blogging, including:

  • how to get people to visit your blog
  • how to hold their attention once they're there
  • how to keep finding fresh topics to write about.

How to write more effective blogs
This tailored blogging course gives you the tools and techniques you need to set up and run a successful blog, on a regular basis.

Whether you're creating a new blog or refreshing an existing one, you'll gain a host of practical tips you can start using immediately.

You'll find a full course description at: How to write more effective blogs.

Become a ghost blogger
If you work in PR or corporate communications, you may want to check out our tailored workshop on ghost writing blogs.

This is a highly specialised training course designed for anyone who has to write a blog on behalf of a client or a senior colleague.

Full details can be found at: How to ghost write a blog.

Upgrade your copywriting skills
If you're looking for new techniques to give your copywriting an extra edge, you'll be delighted with our updated course, Professional Copywriting Plus.

It’s still packed with all the proven skill-building exercises and practical copywriting tips that have made it a success with hundreds of people both in the UK and abroad.

But now it covers an even wider range of copywriting tasks. And we’ve added extra features including some indispensable tools to make your life as a copywriter even easier.

Whether you are new to copywriting or already have some experience, we can design a course to fit your needs. For more information please visit our course description.

Great news for reluctant report writers
If you tend to put off writing business reports because you find the process difficult, here's something you'll welcome.

We have a new workshop that's been designed to remove all the pain from business report writing. It’s called Professional Report Writing Plus.

It's unique in that it combines expert report writing tips with powerful techniques used by professional copywriters.

The result is a highly interactive, one-day business training course that shows you exactly how to write reports for business - quickly and effectively. You'll find all the details in our course description.

Our new workshop is a world first
Strawberry Training recently launched a unique one-day workshop called: Writing Web Content For Young People.

Our research suggests no other business training school in the world offers a course dedicated to this highly specialised subject.

The introduction of this workshop will be welcomed by the growing number of charities, local authorities and government bodies as well as major private sector organisations looking to communicate with young people through the internet.

Like all our training this new offering can be completely customised. Tell us the aims of your site and the age range of the people who read it and we will tailor our course content to your needs.

If you are interested in writing for younger web users - children, teenagers or even young adults - and would like to learn more, please take a look at our course description.

Training for charity newsletter writers and editors
If you write or edit a charity newsletter, you face a challenging task. You must produce a professional publication within a tight budget, all the while serving the best interests of your charity and the cause it supports.

Our tutor, himself the former editor of a major national charity magazine, shows you how it’s done. In this highly tailored, one-day course he provides scores of essential tips to help you rise to the challenge.

For full course details visit: How To Write A Charity Newsletter.

Take the risk out of training
There are few things more frustrating than finding yourself on an unsuitable course. At Strawberry Training we make every effort to prevent this happening by offering tailor made business training.

Before each course we talk to those attending to understand their skill levels and the challenges they face in their work. If appropriate, we also speak to their line managers. We then design a course to fit.

In this way the element of risk is removed. Our clients know that each of our courses will be packed with practical hints and tips tailored to their needs.
