What & Who Is The Oatmeal Group?

We are a Cardiff based training company, providing SME businesses to large corporate organisations throughout the UK with results driven solutions through:-

•    presentation skills Training
•    Sales Training
•    Management Training.

Our vastly experienced trainers are handpicked for what they individually bring to the tables of our clients.  Just as our courses are not the same, neither are we.  All Oatmeal people offer sector specialist skills in:-

•    Executive Coaching
•    Marketing Training
•    Private Sector Training
•    Public Sector Training

This allows us to match your very individual requirements with the trainer who is best equipped to most effectively deliver what you need.

Our motivation for forming the Oatmeal Group was inspired by our desire to challenge ineffective and intangible blue chip training methods. 

If we are unable to tailor make courses that offer practical and sustainable business benefits, we will pass on the jobs.  We don’t believe in taking your money and running, with training courses that are nothing more than slightly motivational. 

Like our namesake, we do what we do exceptionally well without the need for fancy colourings or flavourings.  That’s why businesses rely on the Oatmeal Group for training courses that provide healthy and wholesome solutions.

Why Oatmeal Group?

Our techniques are not to be confused with those of many of our competitors, who might talk a similar talk, but often fall short when it comes to the walking part. 

We do not continue to grow our client bases by simply delivering generic courses.  They might provide your people with a jolly day out of the office, but leave them with little to show for it afterwards.

We understand that many marketplaces are increasingly competitive and extremely challenging.  We help your key people to combat the factors that challenge and compete with them, and with your business.

We do this by getting to the very heart of what you are up against, harnessing our unique AIMS© training method in order to identify and address your issues

We help your team to define solutions to their issues.  Their solutions consequently influence their change and growth within your business, in line with how your business itself is changing and growing.

Our training courses are tailor made to suit your needs.  Not the needs of the last company we worked with.  Most definitely not what our competitors might think are the identical needs of each and every business.

Furthermore, our training courses are about return on investment.  It is of imperative importance that your results are measured by the fact that you ultimately reap far more than you sow.

Who Should Use Oatmeal Group?

Our training courses are equally as well suited to small, medium and large private businesses as they are to public sector organisations. 

We also offer coaching and mentoring services that are purpose built to specifically address the needs of individuals within businesses and organisations.

These individuals are often at the very highest levels, with forthcoming public speaking engagements that warrant professional guidance and preparation.  They are also individuals who need coaching through a specific issue or set of issues on a one to one basis.

We can confidently claim that just about any business should use us, because we do not offer the same services to more than a single client.  Couple our tailor made training courses with the different specialist skills sets of Our trainers, and we are well placed to offer something very bespoke to every business.

•    presentation skills Training
•    Sales Training Course
•    Management Training Courses

These overwhelmingly popular courses are required by many businesses in order to address their own very specific business issues. 

Regardless of the size and sector of your business, please do have a browse through these sections of our website for further ideas about how we can help you to overcome the challenges you face.

What Business Problems Do Oatmeal Group Courses Address?

Even if you are already a firm believer in the power of professional training courses to develop your Managers, you are quite within your rights to pose this question.  Particularly if you have previously paid for training courses that have been fun to attend, but could not be described as problem solvers.

Our core courses are developed to address the problems that you and your Managers experience in relation to:-

•    presentation skills Training –
for overcoming fear of presentations
for sales people
for non sales people
for Managers
for Techies
for senior Executives

•    Sales Training Courses –
for sales people
for non sales people
for new business development
for marketing inspiration

•    Management Training Courses –
for assertiveness
for change management
for conflict management
for customer services
for project management
for negotiation
for time management

We think that the above categories should give you a clear idea about the business problems that our training courses address.  Yet they are by no means the sum total, just the most requested. 

Fear not if the challenges you face are not listed above.  It is highly likely that they may not be unique to you, and that we will have recently helped businesses overcome similar issues.

If we haven’t, then you are a very exciting proposition for us.  Seeing as we about helping businesses find solutions, it would be a poor show if we couldn’t find our own!  We relish the opportunity to roll up our sleeves and come up with something completely different for you to suit.

How Does AIMS© Contribute To Training Success? 

AIMS© is our very own patented method of training.  We believe it gives our training courses competitive edge, which, in turn, provides your people with competitive edge.

You probably wonder how you went on before the arrival of increasingly sophisticated spreadsheets that enable you to monitor the financial side of your business.   What AIMS© uniquely equips us to do is to measure and monitor the people side of your business in terms of:-

•    communication
•    effectiveness
•    motivation
•    vision


We refer to these as the four cornerstones of business success.  It is upon these cornerstones that we build our training courses based on your specific needs. 

Here’s how we do it:-

•    Step 1 – Analyse – with your help, we obtain deep insight in to your issues and the solutions you need your training courses to provide to your people

•    Step 2 – Intervene – in order to address your issues, we design our training courses around the implementation of your desired outcomes

•    Step 3 – Motivate – when delivering our training courses, we ensure that your team completely understand your end goals – and buy in to them

•    Step 4 – Sustain – perhaps most importantly, we leave your team fit for purpose to work towards your goals long after we have left the building.

It might sound a little technical, but we can assure you that it makes perfect logical sense – and it works. 

As if further assurance was needed, AIMS© also backs up our claims that the training courses we ultimately deliver to your people are tailor made with your business in mind.  Even if we were of that mindset – which we are not! – we simply could not tweak up another client’s presentation, as their outcomes and your outcomes would just not match.

AIMS© also offers you those quantifiable results that other training courses too regularly don’t.  Results are everything to us.  If you are investing in management development, we assume they are even more important to you.

Don’t make the mistake of picking the phone up to the training company with the flashiest website.  At least not until you have spoken to the Oatmeal Group first.

Remember – no fancy colourings or flavourings – just healthy and wholesome business solutions, purpose built to more than pay their way.
