Training and development

Find the right training and development for you

Whether you have new trustees, governors or clerks seeking induction training, or are an established board looking to improve the way you set your vision and strategy, whatever your training needs– NGA is here to help.

Training can be delivered via face-to-face or online workshops by NGA consultants. Our workshops are easily accessible and designed to be both interactive and engaging. They provide the opportunity to learn with fellow governors and trustees on a virtual or face-to-face basis.

General information 

• All our work is carried out by consultants who are carefully recruited and quality assured. 
• On commissioning training or consultancy from NGA, the consultant will contact you directly to make the practical arrangements.
• Most of our consultants are able to offer twilight, evening and Saturday morning sessions, often at short notice.
• Consultants will need to be able to connect to a screen for the presentation aspect of the session, and will also need a flipchart and pens. Refreshments for participants are always very welcome.
• Consultants will either bring with them the materials for the session, or will arrange for them to be delivered to the venue in good time.
• Our fees are inclusive of the consultant’s travel, incidental expenses and materials. There will be no additional charges.
• In the event that a client cancels a session, a cancellation fee will be charged to cover time booked out, preparation and administration costs incurred.
• We expect the clerk to the governing board and the senior leadership team to be present.
• Much of our work is suitable for both maintained schools and academies and we usually use the term school to mean either.  Some of our sessions are also particularly suitable for groups of schools and/or academies to share.  Work with multi academy trusts will be bespoke to the trust and the consultant will be knowledgeable and experienced in MAT governance.
• We value relationships and so if you would like a consultant you’ve already worked with to work with you again, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
