Training Course Venues
Our public courses are held in hotels across the country. Excel has established a long-term relationship with the course venues to ensure our customers have the very best learning environment for their training.
Being a residential delegate can provide numerous benefits to the overall learning experience.
Our venues are carefully chosen and regularly assessed so our customers have access to comfortable, quiet and convenient venues providing good food and service.
In-house training is also available and all of our training courses can be carried out at customer sites at a time to suit you. If you have three or more delegates interested in a specific training course, in-house training may be a more cost effective option for you. For a proposal, contact the In-house team to discuss your needs and options available.
If you need any help with logistical or hotel arrangements, particularly if you are an international delegate, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
