Your IPS journey begins with our training!
For over twenty years, we’ve been at the forefront of implementing high-quality Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in the UK. Our passion lies in empowering professionals like you to make a real difference in people’s lives.
We offer a range of courses to train IPS workers and to develop the leadership skills of IPS managers.
Our comprehensive 2-day course Doing what works: IPS training for employment specialists will equip you with the knowledge and tools to support people into employment using the IPS model. You can further develop your IPS skills with our Employer engagement course. For managers, our course Leading for excellence: Training for IPS supervisors offers valuable insights and strategies to strengthen leadership skills and drive team success.
We look forward to welcoming you to our training sessions!

- Interactive: Engage in fun and lively sessions, group activities, and collaborative learning. Small training groups means everyone gets involved.
- Impact: By embedding good IPS practices, you’ll help individuals overcome health barriers and achieve meaningful employment outcomes.
