Time management training for charities
The November public training programme is now fully booked. Sorry if you missed out on a place. We’ll let you know as soon as the next dates are confirmed.
This course goes beyond standard time management training for charities and non-profits. It offers practical solutions for improving personal effectiveness and truly making the most of your available time.
Working in the charity, public or not-for-profit sector can feel overwhelming: everything is a priority and results have a wide-reaching impact. Many time management training courses for charities and other non-profits focus on ways to help you fit in everything that you’re presented with. This series of two half-day sessions gives you all of those tools plus the skills to prioritise your workload by working out what’s most important to you and your role. The programme also provides insights into the challenges of managing time while working with others – including reducing interruptions and dealing with dangerous ‘time thieves’.
It will leave you feeling re-energised and with a renewed sense of focus, with the tools you need to deal with the most demanding workload, and to achieve your long, medium and short-term goals with confidence.
All our public training is scheduled when enough demand is there, so please
register your interest here, and we'll let you know as soon as a new date is set.
Yes, and also face to face. It's equally suitable for both options.

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in one full day, two half-day sessions or four bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).
