Optimise learning outcomes in dedicated training environments

Conference Centres of Excellence, the UK’s largest consortium of dedicated conference and training centres, believes that the effectiveness of training events carried out in dedicated environments is increased by between 10% and 15% compared to non-specialist venues. 

With over 20 years of experience in the training venue sector, Conference Centres of Excellence has explored this belief in ongoing dialogue between the consortium and its 33 members, who include many of the country’s most prominent specialist venues, several of which also offer their own management training courses.

“In a traditional training event held in a specialist venue, we believe that there is a benefit of an additional 10-15% in retained learning –  which is a significant benefit  to people productivity or individual performance back in the work place,” says Anthony Lishman, Executive Director of Conference Centres of Excellence: “For the trainer and for delegates, a dedicated venue brings focus and absence of distraction, services and facilities dedicated to communications, and support staff who understand the challenge  – all of which optimise the learning outcomes, and in turn success of the event.”

Conference Centres of Excellence currently has 33 members, which include many of the country’s most respected providers. All member venues provide facilities and staff dedicated to the process of communications and learning.

Conference Centres of Excellence will be attending the World of Learning Conference and Exhibition, where we can discuss your venue requirements and how our dedicated environments can benefit your training results.

Representatives from three member venues - Wyboston Lakes Executive Centre, imago at Burleigh Court, and Kents Hill Park Conference and Training Centre will also be in attendance.
