So you have decided that you need to do some retraining to prepare yourself for civilian life. Prior to jumping in, you need to ask yourself a number of questions before you embark on training; why have you decided that you need the training? What do you want to achieve during the training? Are there limitations on your training? Do you have travel limitations on your training and do you have format limitations on your training?

You might feel you need training because there is a gap in your knowledge or you need to have a certificate to prove that you have the required qualifications; most training is undertaken because you want to expand your education in order to be fully prepared for new job or a potential new job.

The first step is to do your research. You would not buy a car or insurance without looking in to it and the same goes for courses to ensure they meet your required criteria. You may be hesitant about calling a training provider and requesting information but at Bristol Management Centre we are always thrilled to be contacted and more than happy to spend time helping to show you how our services can meet your needs.

Having a clear understanding of the course can really help to see where you are heading and it is useful to be able to ask questions such as, is this a stand-alone course or is there a progression of courses having completed the foundation one? Does it meet my needs?

Ask questions so you are fully aware of the pricing structure. The last thing you need to find out once you are attending the course is that there are further costs that you were not made aware of. Does your budget limit the amount of training that you can complete? Bristol Management Centre has a clear pricing structure with no hidden costs which are laid out in a clear understandable manner on our website or we can talk you through the costs so you know exactly what is involved.

Bristol Management Centre is easy to access in that it is positioned in the heart of the City of Bristol which has the benefit of a convergence of major routes from motorways and with the addition of a railway line, park-and-rides and car clubs, finding us is not a problem.
