For employers

Training built around how your organisation actually works

CIISD designs workshops and programmes to your roles, standards and equipment — and gives your whole workforce year-round access to the e-learning platform.

Designed with you, not off the shelf

We start from your role profiles and standard operating procedures, so the content matches the job people go back to.

Delivered where it suits

On your site, at a CIISD venue, live online or blended — whatever keeps the most people in the room.

Assessed and certificated

Where a programme carries assessment, learners are assessed against the standard and certificated by CIISD.

Two ways to work with us

Build a programme, or open the library to your team

Most organisations use both: a bespoke programme for the roles that need it, and platform access so everyone else can keep learning between projects.

Custom workshops and programmes

We scope the gap with your managers, design the material around your own procedures, and deliver it to your teams — as a single workshop or a programme running across the year.

  • Content written to your role profiles, equipment and standards
  • Facilitated on site, at a CIISD venue, live online or blended
  • Cohort sizes and scheduling set around shift patterns
  • Assessment and CIISD certification where the programme carries it
  • A report back to the sponsor on completion and what came up

E-learning platform for your employees

One annual fee opens the platform to your staff for twelve months. They study at their own pace; you see who is using it and how far they have got.

  • Full course and video library, on any device, all year
  • Named seats you can reassign as people join and leave
  • Administrator console for enrolment, groups and progress
  • Completion records and certificates your L&D team can export
  • Onboarding session for administrators when the account opens

How it works

From first conversation to certificates

A bespoke programme runs through five stages. Each one ends with something you sign off before we move on.

  1. 01

    Scoping

    We meet the sponsor and the line managers, look at the roles involved, and agree what the training has to change.

  2. 02

    Design

    We write the outline, the materials and the assessment against your procedures, and send it back for review.

  3. 03

    Scheduling

    Cohorts, dates and venue are set around your shift patterns so operations keep running while people train.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Facilitators run the sessions, and learners build the evidence their assessment asks for as they go.

  5. 05

    Review

    Certificates are issued, and the sponsor gets a report on completion, attendance and what the cohort raised.

Which one fits

The short version: build a programme when the training has to match your own procedures, subscribe when you want breadth and self-paced study across a workforce.

Questions employers ask

It depends on how much design the programme needs. A single workshop adapted from existing material moves quickly; a full programme written against your procedures takes longer, because the design goes back to you for review before anything is scheduled. We give you a timeline at the end of scoping.

Bespoke delivery is priced per cohort rather than per head, so very small groups cost the same as a full room. If you have only a handful of people, platform access is usually the better value — talk to us and we will say so.

Yes — that is the point of a bespoke programme. Share your role profiles, standard operating procedures and any internal material, and the content is written around them. Your documents stay yours; we use them to design and assess, not to republish.

Seats are named but reassignable. Your administrator releases the seat and issues it to someone else from the console. The leaver keeps any certificates already earned.

Courses that carry assessment issue a certificate on completion, and your administrator can export the records for your own training file. Sessions that are purely introductory are recorded as completions rather than certificated.

Yes. Give us your PO number and billing contact when the proposal is accepted and we will invoice accordingly. Subscriptions are invoiced annually in advance.
