In-house management training

Personalised for your requirements

In-house training and COVID-19

To ensure that firms continue to receive high quality training, we are now delivering our in-house management training through our virtual classroom solution - Mercia Live. Our virtual classrooms provide the same level of interaction and expert knowledge as their face to face equivalent, all delivered in a collaborative and online setting. Mercia continue to monitor the government guidance closely and will be running all training virtually until it is safe to return to venues.

Our in-house training gives a more personal approach to meeting your firm's requirements, and we will work with you to understand the day to day challenges you face. From £1,650 per half day (plus VAT), we will provide everything you need including course speakers, course documentation and bespoke content, all tailored to suit your exact needs. Our training is designed to help you support your people, support your clients and support your practice.

Back in 2002 we engaged Mercia to design a bespoke programme of management and leadership training to equip our new and aspiring managers with the knowledge, skills and behaviours they would need to excel in this role.  The programme has been an outstanding success and is still running.  The Mercia team’s understanding of the culture of BHP and of the changing landscape of the accountancy profession have ensured the programme has continued to develop and remained relevant, challenging and engaging throughout this time.
