Do you ever find yourself wishing that the mandatory training for your retail team was actually relevant to their world? Or having to spend time cajoling and pestering your team members to complete their online courses, even though you know that they won’t find them relevant to their role?

We’ve been there and done that. We know how frustrating it can be to listen to content that suggests using the lift or calling the maintenance team when faced with a manual handling challenge in a shop. That’s why we created courses that speak directly to charity retailers, with scenarios and examples firmly embedded in the charity retail environment.

We offer a whole range of courses that your team will find relevant and motivating, as well as meeting your needs for meaningful mandatory training – all of which are included in the CRL subscription, or can be purchased separately:
