Imagine being able to design a bespoke development programme without…
Whether you are looking for an induction programme, a bespoke management development programme or a suite of bite-size workshops that are unique to your business, we can design training to your brief. (Although we tend to steer away from technical or legal training!). We can create face-to-face or blended programmes (but not pure e-learning: that isn’t our thing).
Designing bespoke training is the core of our business, and we’ve designed programmes for many well-known organisations including Costain, Johnson’s Apparelmaster, Kellogg’s, Aldermore Bank, Johnson Cleaners and Towergate Insurance.
Here, we become a temporary extension of your team: You supply a point of contact who is very capable (but probably over-stretched) to act as our liaison, and we work with them to conduct a learning needs analysis (if it hasn’t already been done), research the needs, scope out the content, and create all the materials. When you are happy, we hand over ALL the materials to you in editable format, and then we quietly disappear, leaving the internal team to take all the credit.
Whilst we love to design training, we recognise that you might want to do it yourself. Download our handy guide to designing training that transfers to the workplace, based on over 20 years experience!

Keystone Development and Training Ltd consistently produces high quality work in a timely fashion remaining commercial and business focused. Using a range of creative learning methods they designed interactive, fun, challenging and thought provoking learning and development materials that have proven business results. I would recommend them to any company that values their people and the design and delivery of very high quality learning solutions
Keystone Development and Training Ltd did a great job designing a workshop about our company values for delivery in Russia. The workshop looked and felt right, and the level of detail was appropriate throughout. I liked the practical and participative approach that they took, which helped to transfer the learning to the workplace.
Keystone Development and Training Ltd designed and delivered an Assistance Branch Manager programme for us to help people to have the confidence and ability to step up to running a dry cleaning business. Sheridan and Laura took time to get to know our business properly, and the programme was highly bespoke to our industry, and pitched at exactly the right level. The workshops were the right balance of challenge and fun meaning that people were motivated and able to put their learning into practice. Many people were promoted as a result of this programme.
Keystone Development and Training Ltd worked along side us to develop an organisation-wide Leadership & Management Development programme. Sheridan put her considerable facilitation expertise to use to help us throughout the process – from developing and refining our initial ideas right through to designing the individual sessions. As well as being an invaluable “extra pair of hands” to support the team, her expertise helped us to ensure that we delivered a programme that was incredibly well received
Keystone Development and Training Ltd designed training materials in response to an internal issue which have been used remotely by training professionals in a number of locations around the world. They interpreted our content requests and produced a polished, ready to use training package with full support and guidance notes. They did this on time, to budget and the results were excellent.
Keystone Development and Training Ltd facilitated a number of Train the Trainer Courses for Johnson Cleaners which helped middle managers to deliver bite-size training sessions. Everyone who attended was impressed with the workshop, they liked the way in transferred easily into the workplace so they were able to use what they had learned quickly and easily with their teams and produce results
Keystone Development and Training Ltd did an exceptional job designing an ILM compatible Management Development Programme I commissioned for Bespak. Sheridan and her team had an aptitude for aesthetics and understanding their client’s and learners needs that make them stand out from the competition. Sheridan pays close attention to what you say during consultation sessions and capture the essence of your requests in the design of the training materials. I can highly recommend working with Keystone Development and Training Ltd. They are passionate, innovative, detail oriented and careful to deliver exactly what the client wants. The ideas, skills, creativity and understanding of business change requests made working with them a dream.
Keystone Development and Training Ltd updated our Induction Programme, and we are delighted with the outcome. The programme is very comprehensive, highly practical, flexible, and utilises a wide range of learning methods. She respected our ideas, and added her own to create a solution that is creative, practical and ideal for our needs. I am more than happy to recommend Keystone Development to add value to the design of any learning programmes that are to be delivered internally
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Sheridan and Keystone Development and Training Ltd for the past 4 months on developing and delivering a management toolkit that adopts a best practice blended learning approach. Sheridan has been the consummate professional with an exceptional ability to “get it right” when anticipating, understanding and delivering training material that meets Costain’s needs and requirements. Sheridan’s pragmatic approach to her consulting work coupled with her extensive knowledge of all matters L&D place her in the top tier of consultants that I have worked with. Keystone Development and Training Ltd has enabled us to deliver a multi-faceted service which can be relied upon even at very short notice. What has also been particularly impressive is their practical approach and willingness to adapt to changing needs and schedules. I can confidently recommend Keystone Development and Training Ltd for the design and delivery of management development programmes.
