About Us

Practical, meaningful and accessible learning to unlock leadership potential and drive results.

About Practical Training Solutions

Practical Training Solutions was founded with a simple belief, learning should feel useful, relevant and grounded in the real world not buried in theory or endless slides.

After years of working directly with leaders, managers and rising talent, we saw the same frustration repeatedly. People didn’t need more theory and jargon. They need clarity. They need tools. They need to understand why something matters and how to actually do it.

That’s why at Practical Training Solutions we aim to close the gap between knowing and doing in the real world.

We design and deliver training, coaching and learning experiences that:

✓ Focus on real-life application
 
Build confidence and capability
 
✓ Make complex ideas simple, practical and actionable
 
✓ Support leaders at every stage of their learning journey
 

Whether it’s a one-off workshop, a full development programme, bespoke learning design or outsourced L&D support, our aim is always the same: to help your people grow, perform and lead at their best.

Our results driven approach is ideal if you:

Have managers and leaders who are good at their jobs but lack people management skills.

Have spent money on training and development before and have seen limited real-world application and impact.

Have limited HR & L&D resources within your organisation to support crucial learning requirements for your managers and leaders.

✓ Want a bespoke learning solution that will fit your organisations requirements.

Want training that includes practical tools and frameworks that actually work.

Meet Tracey

Hi, I’m Tracey, Founder and Director of Practical Training Solutions, and I am delighted to welcome you to our website.

Over many years, I’ve had the pleasure of training and coaching thousands of managers, leaders, and aspiring professionals in the UK and internationally. I have worked alongside different organisations across the private and public sectors including blue-chip companies.

During this time, I have noticed several key themes:
 
Theory and concepts alone aren’t enough. Professionals need practical tools they can apply in their day jobs, so they know what they need to do, and how to do it.
 
Everyone learns in a slightly different way and have the potential to be better at their jobs. People need to feel inspired and understand their “why” when they commit to learning, growth and development.
 
Learning tools need to be accessible and engaging to be effective. Training must be relatable and easy to understand to have real-world impact for time-constrained professionals. People want the flexibility to recall and access their own learning when they need it.
 
Many managers lack crucial people management skills. Whether newly promoted or with some experience, despite being competent in their profession and even if they have been on training before.
 
Technology is transforming the learning landscape. Professionals want learning that is accessible and flexible. We can offer face to face and virtual training programmes as well as bespoke online learning programmes to suit your needs.
 
Confidence plays a big role in reaching one’s full potential. Our aim is to nurture, improve and empower individuals to reach new heights with their professional development.
 
Self-awareness among many professionals is limited. We put growth mindset at the heart of what we do, to empower professionals to self-reflect and drive their own development.
