Commissioned Online Courses

Within the remit of our subject areas, you can commission MARCH Training and Development to write, design and produce a bespoke course specific to your requirements.  This is an easy process where you tell us the content or topic required then we will produce the course for your perusal until it fits your requirements. 

 Bespoke Online Courses

Our online courses are specifically written and designed for the needs of FE, HE and prison classrooms.  Unlike our commissioned courses, these are pre-written and produced, however, we can still tweak these to make them more bespoke to your organisation’s needs.  All our courses aim to be:

• Highly interactive and always include solutions to the issues at hand
• Highly interactive and always include solutions to the issues at hand
• Entertaining and easy to watch
• Sensitive to the fact that they cover difficult areas
• Accompanied with reading material if the participant would like to know more
