The UK’s finest learning and development experience
You’ve chosen a path. Now get the skills for the next leg of the journey. As an organisation or self-driven learner, you’ll find training opportunities here to equip you – or your people – for the challenge ahead.
Proudly partnering with:
There’s no denying it. Our education system lets some people down.
It rewards you if you fit the mould – parroting facts and theories. But if you learn through doing… or learn by example… it sets you up to flunk exams and think you’ll never achieve.
It’s madness. We all have our own way of learning. So why doesn’t teaching reflect that?
We do things differently here. Instead of dry lectures and dusty textbooks, we work with our learners closely, to bring each lesson to life. So everything resonates… crystallises…and new skills take root.
With this practical, hands-on approach, we can help anyone reach their potential.
Whatever happened in the past… let’s design your future.
As the biggest name in British construction, Balfour Beatty has thousands of people working under pressure. Most on busy sites, where personal safety is paramount.
Keen to protect their workforce and operations, they asked us to train their teams in conflict resolution. So we devised a custom programme, teaching proven ways of avoiding and diffusing tension – all given in context, to reflect the challenges of their work environment.

Training for Business
We worked with the MOD, training future leaders in the military and blue light services. 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, helping leaders to be confident in their own natural style.

Training for Military & Frontline
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, giving their students the skills to respond in different situations.
As the client told us, “The service 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. We will definitely be getting MEP back in.”

Training for the Education Sector
Newport in South Wales has a rising migrant population, where unemployment levels have been disproportionately high. So the city council asked us to devise a custom programme: a mix of language, education and employability skills, to foster independence and a culture of learning in the community.
In the client’s words, “MEP has shown flexibility, adapting to the changes we require in a cooperative and positive manner. I highly recommend Minerva Elite Performance and feel that they will provide excellent support to other Local Authorities and organisations.”

Training for Government Bodies
The Gulab Sorkh Foundation offers training and support to Afghan evacuees. They brought in MEP to deliver English language training, with an emphasis on good citizenship and employment skills – a programme that has made a significant impact, giving many hard-working people the tools to build a new life.
In the words of trustee Richard Haldenby, “The MEP service has been truly first rate and we couldn’t recommend them more”.

Training for Third Sector
William spent 10 years as a teacher before settling on a career change. After completing our Level 7 in Strategic Management & Leadership, he had this to say:
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the staff at Minerva for your outstanding support throughout my course. I genuinely enjoyed every unit! Each one offered something valuable, and the learning experience as a whole was enriching and rewarding. I look forward to progressing on the Cardiff MBA!”

Training for Individuals
Hard work matters. Just like a can-do attitude and fervent self-belief. But these qualities won’t change your life without the right education.
Knowledge brings skill, then brings wisdom… and opportunity follows.
Our namesake, the Roman Goddess Minerva, embodies this like no other. A symbol of wisdom and knowledge, she’s known for diverse talents, from medicine to commerce, athleticism and music.
Like us, she stands for well-rounded power – the ultimate key to success.
Hence our name. And our pledge to help you rewrite your story.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
