About Valley Training

valley training was formed in 1995 to provide training and consultancy to individuals and organisations committed to developing people at work. Based in Kendal, we now work with a wide variety of clients, balancing 1:1 work with larger team development programmes. The helping hand we seek is often found at the end of our own arm

Inspiring self development and positivity is at the heart of our work, using a supportive and playful approach to celebrate adventure, promote curiosity and challenge thinking by asking "what would happen if you did ?"
