Welcome to the Spearhead Group.

Founded in 1981, we design and deliver quality training courses in Management, Sales and Marketing, PA and Office Support, Business Skills and specialist FMCG training. There really is no substitute to our approach to training – as over 20,000 organisations and 500,000 delegates can testify. You can view our customer list for details of our recent customers.

Five courses from across our range will be offered at 50% of the published course fee. Courses on offer change daily throughout July.  Click Here for details. 

Organisations are now finding that there is a limit to how lean they can become without endangering their health. So when an organisation has reached the limit of this leanness what next? The only way left is to improve the capacity of the remaining employees and the organisation by providing quality business training: training that focuses on developing the skills needed to excel in whatever job role the person is employed to do. That is exactly what we provide: quality training courses focused on improving business performance.

All our courses involve participative learning, delivered by our own expert training team to small groups.

Details of all of our courses and related training services can be found on this site. We offer a wide range of open courses as well as tailored and bespoke training. These, together with our one-to-one coaching service and associated training services, really make us your one-stop shop for training and developing your people.

Booking your training is now even easier. You can book any of our open courses on-line.

Choosing the right training partner is important, so if you have any questions about any of our training programmes or services please ask. Our advice is free and without any obligation on your part. You can use the contact form provided to get in touch.

Spearhead Training Group is the UK’s number one training company – if you haven’t used us before take a while to see what we offer.

Management Training - Management Training Course - Management Training Courses

Management Course - Management Courses - Courses in Management

In addition to our range of general management courses, we also offer a number of specialist management courses. These more specialist courses cover a range of subjects.For example, we offer a one-day change management workshop. This management course ensures managers have a good understanding of the key stages of the change process as well as what they need to do to manage each stage effectively. It is an invaluable course for managers in organisations who, perhaps because of current economic conditions, have to implement change rapidly and successfully.

Our project management courses – “Essential Project Skills” and “Projects: process and people” – focus on developing those skills specific to project management.

These courses are not just for dedicated project managers – many organisations expect their staff and managers to participate in and run projects alongside their “main” job. Another of our specialist management courses is our “Managing the Sales Force” programme. This management course will ensure you get the best out of what is arguably the hardest type of team to manage - the sales team.

Two other specialist management courses are “Time Management” and our “Personal Effectiveness Programme”. These two courses help you regain control of that most elusive of resources … time.

Of course, some types of management are not to do with managing people who report to you. Our “Financial Awareness” course and our “Understanding Finance” workshop are about managing money. Designed for the non-specialist they will give you a better understanding of the commercial considerations that interact with your own discipline.

Another specialist management course that is not to do with managing people is our Account Management course. It is designed for those who are experienced at sales and who now have to manage major or key accounts, and teaches the skills needed to successfully build business partnerships.

Two other courses also fall into this category. They are National Account Management and Category Management. Both these courses are specialist courses for the FMCG sector.

Not all of our specialist management courses are found in the management section. If you have any trouble locating a specialist course, please call and we will happily advise you.

Leadership Training - Supervisor Training

Whether you are the MD or a front line supervisor, you have to achieve results. Part of doing this is being able to influence the actions of those you manage. Leadership training can help you understand not only the what, but also the how of leadership. As such leadership training should be a core part of the training given to all managers.

However, the leadership skills needed by those in a senior management position are very different to those needed by someone in a front line supervisory position. That is why we offer a full range of management courses, each designed to specifically address the training needs, including the leadership training needs, of the different levels of management. At one end of the spectrum, our Executive Leadership training course will help senior managers achieve even better results. It does this by teaching the skills needed to build winning teams of high achieving managers. Delegate after delegate has praised this course and told us how much it has changed the way they think and the way they manage their people. This course includes coaching – both as a subject, so you understand how to do it, and also on a personal level for each delegate to address particular concerns.

Executive coaching is perhaps one of the most effective training techniques available. The course is run as a residential programme and as such you will be expected to stay at the venue. The advantages of this approach are that it minimises other distractions and the training continues into the evening via specific evening exercises. Yes, you will work hard but it will be rewarding and satisfying.

At the other end of the spectrum is our Supervisor Training course. It can be a very difficult transition to make – from being a member of the team to being the supervisor in charge of the same team. So this pragmatic, practical, hands-on supervisor training course teaches supervisors the skills they need to confidently direct the work effort of others whilst still being part of the team they supervise. It includes many practical exercises to keep supervisors – who may not have been in a classroom situation for years – fully engaged and learning. Whether run at our London or at our Chipping Norton training centre, we always limit the number of delegates on our supervisor training course. This is to ensure even the most under-confident supervisor can participate fully.

Business Skills Courses

The courses in this section cover the skills needed by nearly all job roles. These courses can be used to provide training in a specific skill area and are useful as follow-on training to any of our management training courses, sales training courses or PA and Office Support training courses. As with all Spearhead courses, you can also have them delivered exclusively for you as an in-company training course.

Sales training and re-training is one of the areas Spearhead is renowned for. Our sales training courses focus on developing the potential of your sales people, equipping them with the professional skills needed to succeed in tough, competitive markets. All of our sales training courses are taught by tutors who are sales experts with successful track records – they can, and do, “walk the talk”. As with our management courses, any of our sales training courses can be delivered at your own venue, either as a standard, tailored or bespoke course. We have a separate section for specialist FMCG sales skills training.
