Course details

Have you ever wondered what makes somebody good at what they do? Maybe it’s a friend who is a good parent or somebody that you used to work with who is a good sportsperson? Why do some people achieve their goals in life and work while others fail? We often think that these people are more talented, or much more intelligent than we are. Think again though.

When you start looking into it, your talent and your intelligence don’t play nearly as big a role as you might think. What makes a much bigger impact is your mental toughness. It’s often described as ‘having true grit’ and this course will look at why it is so important and how you can develop more of it to help you to move on in life and work.

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. Although things will look different, our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and we’re really excited to welcome learners back.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What do I need to join the course?
