Less stress. More confidence

Do you find yourself slowed down by mistakes? Even when you’ve checked your work, are mistakes still there?

You’re not alone! It is natural to make mistakes. But it needn’t be inevitable.

Developing your concentration, checking skills, and attention to detail means that you work accurately and get more done in your busy schedule. You’ll feel less stressed and more confident about your work.

Greater productivity

Fewer mistakes mean getting more done in the time available. Mistakes waste valuable time and correcting errors often involves several people.

Taking remedial action to put things right takes up even more time. Getting things right first time, every time, has a big impact on productivity.

You'll explore how much mistakes are costing you and how to work more efficiently.

Personal effectiveness

It’s difficult to concentrate when you are constantly under pressure, feel distracted and have to deal with interruptions.

When you feel stressed your brain doesn’t work effectively and you can’t think logically. It’s easy to make mistakes, or to forget to do things.

Learning how to ‘super-concentrate’ and manage stress and distractions means you work more accurately.

Accurate data handling

We know why people make transposition errors, omit data and read information incorrectly. The physical structure of the human eye and the way our brains perceive information can trick us into making mistakes.

We’ve developed proven, practical techniques that are easy to apply to all types of numerical data as well as information containing names and addresses.

You'll learn valuable data handling techniques.

Checking documents

Learn how to approach your checking with the optimum mindset and how to check effectively to find the mistakes.

Just reading through a document or email to check it isn’t enough. You need to apply a structured checking process to ensure all the vital elements of your message are correct.

You’ll learn how to create effective checklists too, and how to spot the flaws in the ones you’re currently using.

"Greg was very informative but also made the course fun and enjoyable. I enjoyed meeting the other people in the course, learning about their roles and having group discussions. I will take away a lot from today which I will put into practice within my day to day role."

Review by Sarah T

"I will be putting into practice all the skills I have learnt, I feel once practiced, will become a habit. I also know my teams challenges a little bit better so I can support them. Greg was a great trainer I found his style put me at ease and therefore I was able to get involved and really process what he was teaching. The course was a great pace and incorporated all our job roles."

Review by Sam R

"This was a truly enjoyable course. All communication prior to the course was excellent, and I particularly appreciated the pre-course call, which I thought was a great addition to set the tone. In the past, I’ve found that online training can sometimes become monotonous, especially with a trainer simply reading slides in a monotone voice. However, Greg was fantastic. He not only delivered the course material effectively but also encouraged and skillfully navigated tangential discussions from delegates. The course struck an excellent balance between presentation, conversation, and breakout groups. I also felt the timing and frequency of breaks were perfect for keeping me engaged and refreshed. Overall, it was a great course and excellent value for money."
