Although The Herne Group possess mentoring capabilities internally, the absence of accredited training capacity prompted them to partner with 20/20 Project Management Training. This collaboration aimed to deliver tailored courses, addressing the specific needs of both the industry and the company, particularly emphasising the undertaking of ECITB and APM qualifications for their employee’s development.

Initially, The Herne Group intended to implement the training gradually against a predefined plan, but then the Skills Bootcamp in Applied Project Controls emerged as a solution, which would address the training requirements and allow them to meet industry demands and their training objectives more efficiently.

The Herne Group’s Experience with 20/20

In reflecting on their experience with 20/20, Mike Preston shared, ‘’our experience with 20/20's Skills Bootcamp in Applied Project Controls was positive compared to previous training experiences with other providers. The training content was not only comprehensive but also tailored to current industry standards and best practices, allowing our team to apply their learning to our current projects.

20/20 employed a blended approach to learning which worked well and was appreciated by the learners. This flexibility allowed us to maximise the training benefits without disrupting our normal business operations. Most valuable was the chance to apply hands-on learning and group exercises at the end which cemented the learning even further.

20/20 are leaders in project management training and The Herne Group has a standing relationship with them as a trusted provider, knowing first-hand how they have successfully trained a considerable number of students in our industry. Their approach to learning, which combines theoretical underpinnings with practical, real-world applications, aligns with our needs and their experienced facilitators with industry experience is extremely valuable to us. Furthermore, their accreditation and partnership with renowned project management institutions (APM/ECITB) assure us of quality and relevance to industry standards.’’
