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.
