Funding

There are many free facilities (eg within guest membership) on this web site and some low cost materials (workbooks, guides, MP3s) which can help to kickstart new career perspectives.

The majority of those joining our programmes or workshops fund themselves. However some people obtain funding or part funding from sources such as

• Charities
• Study leave
• Training budgets
• Deanery budget
• Insurance company

If you have financial concerns as a result of career problems it is worth approaching these.

We have been fortunate enough to be entirely self funding since our inception in 1990. This has facilitated an unusual level of independence and innovation as we have not had to please or prove to anyone other than our clients. Our continued existence depends entirely on the quality of the work we do and satisfied customers who recommend us. A goodly proportion of the fees we charge go to raising awareness of our service and maintaining the website. Further funds are invested in research and development for new and better facilities. Another portion goes towards supporting the free facilities that we offer on our web site.

Are we a charity or a business, a non profit making organisation or educational consultancy? Well none of these really. But there is a new terminology for organisations that are run along business principles but which have a strong ethical and altruistic mission. This is a "socially responsible enterprise" and we strive to follow this model
