About Us

Annie Weir, MA (Education), FITOL
My background and qualifications
After 25 years experience in teaching and training adults at work, I
started IVITA Learning in early 2004 and have steadily
built a reputation for offering affordable quality training and assessment
in the North West and North East of England.
I am committed to the principles of lifelong learning having recently completed my MA (Education), and
Diplomas in Life Coaching and Performance Coaching.
A cross section of clients I work with
Skill Training Limited in County Durham offer apprenticeship
programmes to young people in construction areas. I work with their
work-based trainers and assessors on the qualifications they need to
best help their young trainees.
Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership was tasked with
mapping the social enterprises in the county, and helping them in identifying
and part funding their training needs. This was satisfying work, and
led to my working directly with several of them including: Carlisle
Mind, Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre, COSC, Longtown Memorial Hall,
Alston Whole Foods, Hadrian Organics, Eden Community Alarms and Howgill
Children's Centre.
Lancaster University (CETAD) in Lancashire, London
and Cumbria. I have worked on four management programmes, and the university's
own Mentoring Award programme with financial directors in the NHS.
