Our team of experienced role-players is what makes us an exciting training provider. They will spend time with your team and equip them with the communication experience essential for thriving in today's competitive business environment.

Our role-players are what make us distinctive as a training provider

Our Operations team ensures that you have the right roleplayers for your requirements - whether that means industry knowledge, cultural awareness or behavioral fit.

So what sets us apart? Our existing clients consistently tell us that it comes down to three factors...

Commerciality

All our roleplayers are familiar with a broad range of industries and professions. We run Knowledge and Network evenings and have built a very strong internal network.

Feedback

The level and detail of our feedback are "second to none". We provide in-house training to ensure that all our roleplayers develop feedback skills and insight.

Style

All our roleplayers are experienced in liaising with you, our clients. We want to make sure the event is a success with the appropriate blend of challenge and fun.

We promise to:

Deliver a credible, realistic roleplay.

Manage the process after the skills practice.

Lead the group feedback.

Use models and frameworks as appropriate.

And all at less than a typical rate for a trainer.

Tell us your challenges and we'll deliver what you need with accuracy, clarity and vision

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your roleplayers have business experience or are they "just" actors?

Our role-players and associates possess a unique blend of business communication expertise and acting skills. They bring in-depth knowledge of business communication theories, coupled with the ability to create realistic scenarios and roleplays tailored to your workplace challenges. This combination allows you to practice and enhance your skills in a risk-free environment, ensuring effective learning and application.

Can you deliver courses anywhere in the UK or online?

We provide flexible training solutions, seamlessly delivered both virtually and in physical settings. Our team is adept at handling technical hiccups to ensure a smooth experience. Sessions, whether half-day or full-day, accommodate small or large audiences, guaranteeing maximum impact and engagement from our talented actors. Training is designed for effectiveness, whether online or in-person, all across the UK.

How does roleplay enhance learning?

Roleplay enhances learning by ensuring training success in real-world scenarios. Unlike traditional training where newfound knowledge may not be applied when needed, our approach allows immediate application in authentic situations. Our trainers, with drama or acting backgrounds, create realistic scenarios for practical learning. We understand the importance of tailored training and adapting to unique goals and challenges. Our approach goes beyond one-size-fits-all, ensuring effective learning outcomes for your team's specific needs.

Do you design courses? Are you able to write scenarios that are relevant to our business?

We not only design comprehensive modules and courses for all levels but also offer bespoke solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our expertise extends to seamlessly integrating into your existing training framework, providing experiential role-plays facilitated by spirited professionals. This ensures your team is engaged in a risk-free environment with scenarios that are directly relevant to your business.
