Empower your team with practical, confidence-building skills

Whether you’re new to tendering or want to improve your team’s ability to write, review or manage bids, my training services offer real-world guidance grounded in years of experience.

These aren’t off-the-shelf courses. They’re tailored, engaging, and designed for people who don’t usually think of themselves as ‘bid writers’ – but still need to win work.

I work with you to co-create practical, in-house sessions that match your goals and team experience. No jargon, no generic slides – just clear, focused guidance that leaves attendees more confident and capable.

Popular topics include:
