Courses
Ken Hutton Limited offers a number of courses, which can be run in-house for groups of employees of one organisation. We also offer ‘open’ sessions for people from different backgrounds, normally run in Kilmersdon, where a company has only one or two people to be trained. In addition, we offer tailor-made courses, designed specifically for your organisation. Most of the courses are limited to a maximum of ten persons, although Stress Awareness is limited to six per course, due to the amount of individual work that takes place.
