BVSC Training Courses

BVSC is proud to be a partner with Franklin Covey to bring these high quality training solutions to the Third Sector in Birmingham.  Following on from the success of the ‘Focus – Achieving Your Highest Priorities’ course which was delivered throughout 2007/2008, BVSC has extended its programme to include the ‘The 7 Habits for Managers’.

Based on the top selling book by Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® has been successful for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity.

What previous participants have said about Franklin Covey Training at BVSC:

“Really enjoyed opportunity to discover why I’m fairly overloaded and what I can do to get back on top”

“Good opportunity & useful to VCS staff who may not get access to this kind of training otherwise”

“Thank you for a thought provoking & really useful day”

“Very informative, lots of group sections, feel I’ve learned a lot to take away & put in to practice”.
