Training & Development for Educational Institutions
We support educators at every level, from schools to FE colleges and universities.
For most, it’s about leadership – we’re here to coach your teaching staff as they move into senior posts.
For some, it’s infill – we devise new modules to fit your curriculum.
And sometimes, it’s a handover – we teach the foundations here, then pass you the baton.
Talk to us. There’s so much we can offer, as your strategic partner.
Educators: upskill your teams and
expand your curriculum
Preparing teachers for non-teaching roles
It’s the same in every institution. Professional educators, who’ve spent their lives teaching, step into leadership roles and find it’s “sink or swim”.
Whether they’re a head of school or department, the challenges keep coming. Juggling budgets… sponsoring change… leading a taskforce or project… essential work that no-one can expect to “learn on the job”.
So who teaches the teachers?
Our leadership coaches will work with the senior members of your faculty, to equip them as dual professionals: educational leaders, with the skills to plan ahead and tackle any situation.
Removing them from the chessboard, to see the whole game strategically.
We’ll explore proven leadership methods, in an educational context. In readiness for internal disputes, financial constraints, regulatory change – and maintaining relations with stakeholders, like parents, students and governors.
Our Training and Development Programmes
-
Strategic Management & Leadership
BTEC Level 7 to mba
A foundation programme, customised for senior educators. From managing tasks and people, to strategy and planning, we’ll turn great teachers into inspirational leaders.
-
Conflict & Risk Management
certified training
Tempers fray, and not just between students. Disputes in the faculty or with stakeholders can just as easily escalate – so how do your staff take control in volatile situations?
-
First Aid Training
rfq level 3
As certified First Aid trainers, we work with educators to improve emergency care. This training is a popular option for staff, and slots neatly into your curriculum as a module for students.
There’s always more we can offer. We’ve supported our education partners with drugs awareness, safe search training, and staff development days.
We’ll devise a custom programme when you get in touch.
Case Study
Partnering with Hereford College to qualify first aiders
Hereford College runs various courses for students planning a career in Uniformed Public Services. They asked us to deliver a module on Emergency First Aid at Work, to equip their students with the skills and confidence to handle different situations.
In the client’s own words:
“Molly was our main point of contact, and from start to finish, she was absolutely spot on. She was quick to respond to emails and really flexible in helping us get everything sorted.
On the day, she turned up early to get set up and was friendly, professional, and clearly knew her stuff. The students had a lot of respect for her. She answered all their questions, even the more technical ones outside the basic course content.
Overall, the service from MEP has been excellent. Easy to book, easy to work with, and the quality of the training was brilliant. We had 18 students qualify as first aiders, and they have left the course feeling confident and ready to use those skills wherever they go next. 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.”

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.

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.

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
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.
