Training & Development for Military & Frontline Services
In your line or work, there are no second chances. In a control room or out in the field, snap decisions will change people’s lives. So coaching your teams and leaders is a huge responsibility.
That’s why every programme we offer is tailored to meet the specific challenges your people face every day. From risk assessment to leadership, we draw on real cases to equip them for the next threat or crisis.
With flexible delivery – because you can never be sure what a new day will bring.
Bespoke coaching for frontline services:
Military and Bluelight

Practical learning for practical people
With an ex-military founder, we know that people who work on the frontline are naturally hands-on. They’ll learn more by doing than sitting through lectures or wading through abstract theories. So all our programmes are designed to engage their practical instincts.
That goes beyond the physical skills, like practising first aid. The same tangible approach applies in every discipline.
Take leadership. We start with concrete scenarios, either from your case files or the learner’s own experience. We dig into the detail, to find the principles that were brought into play – everything from decision-making to communication style.
And with that solid foundation, the theory simply beds in.
It’s not “teaching” or even “training”. It’s coaching and mentoring, to help each individual acquire a new perspective.

Case Study
Leadership in Action: bespoke coaching for the MOD
We devised a programme for future leaders in the military and blue light services. Delivered across four MOD locations, Leadership in Action focused on the challenges of leading in complex, adaptive environments, including field operations.
Through interactive sessions, we explored scenarios where the leader’s role shifts from moment to moment, and the art of switching leadership styles as situations evolve.
Learners emerged with the confidence to lead in their own natural style – ready to inspire and guide the diverse people in their command.

Minerva Elite Performance delivered their Leadership in Action Seminar and Workshop at RAF Coningsby, helping to build on Service Personnel’s existing knowledge of leadership values and techniques.
The workshop was well received with an excellent attendance rate and positive feedback, with many participants commenting on the enthusiasm and professionalism of Craig, the knowledge on leadership styles and the enjoyment of the interactive activity. Additionally, participants enjoyed how engaging the session was and many wished it had been longer to delve into the topic in more detail. In the future, we would be delighted to welcome MEP back to deliver this workshop again.

MEP has been the trusted training partner for the Gulab Sorkh Foundation as we seek to build independence in the Afghan evacuees we support.
They have developed an excellent programme of English language training with an emphasis on good citizenship and employment skills. This is delivered by MEP professionals sensitively and effectively. The MEP service has been truly first rate and we couldn’t recommend them more.

Re-entering an academic training environment was a daunting prospect after several years decades away from it!
In hindsight there really was no need whatsoever for concern, the Minerva Team are small and perfectly formed, from my initial first contact through to finishing the qualification they were always there to support me every step of the way.
Nicki Roberts
Managing Director
Molly was our main point of contact, and from start to finish, she was absolutely spot on.
The students really enjoyed the session and said it would be great if she could deliver more courses for the next group of Uniformed Protective Services students coming through. We will definitely be getting MEP back in.

We at Balfour Beatty strive to create a safe working environment for all our staff.
This is sometimes assured through impactful training on topics that add value to the daily operations of all our internal stakeholders. Minerva Elite Performance worked incredibly hard to ensure that the training was engaging, thought-provoking, but most importantly added operational value.

We have worked with MEP to shape this delivery, so it meets the requirements of an ever-changing programme.
MEP has shown flexibility, adapting to the changes we require in a cooperative and positive manner. This is what is needed when delivering a programme that changes on a frequent basis. I highly recommend Minerva Elite Performance and feel that they will provide excellent support to other Local Authorities and organisations.
