In an ever-changing world, this course can empower you to meet new challenges. It is a part-time flexible course based around your needs and delivered at your pace to boost your confidence and discover a new you. We will work around your commitments, such as childcare or caring responsibilities, to develop a practical approach to building a new future.
This course was exactly what I needed.
It’s motivating, it’s confidence building and it’s energising.
And it was a lot of fun along the way!
By setting realistic goals and targets, we can support women of all ages and backgrounds to achieve their potential and move towards employment. We can provide opportunities to make steps towards your short- and long-term work and training goals. And we know you’ll enjoy the journey!
Activities & Exercises
Your course will be packed to the brim with teambuilding exercises and activities. Some of our previous learners have remained friends for life and we’re proud to have played part in them making such a positive connection.
Teambuilding can be small group tasks – such as working together to build a bridge out of paper – or large scale activities including wellbeing visits to the Farm; a venue full of surprises. You can read more about the Farm here.
We encourage you to bring your hobbies and interests into the training room – we’ve already had a samba dancer and top-class chef enrol with us – we’re looking forward to meeting even more wonderful people!
Self-Defence Classes
Part of our teambuilding offer is the chance to take part in self-defence classes with our expert partner, Harris. He can offer advice and demonstrations on a number of potentially threatening situations – including how to safely disarm someone wielding a knife and how to subdue an unexpected attacker.
An amazing, invaluable self-defence session!
These sessions are always well received and, although we hope you never have to put them to use, it’s reassuring to have the knowledge at the back of your mind.
Free Salon Treatments
All of our Empowering Women attendees are offered free treatments at the Salon – our very own beauty boutique. Regardless of where your course is being held – so even if you’re studying miles from our main Bootle location, we’ll make sure that you get here to experience the luxury you deserve.
Our full-qualified and experienced staff will offer you advice on hair, skin and beauty routines, and provide you with services – including, haircuts, blow-drys, manicures and pamper sessions. You can read more about the full range of services the Salon offers here.
You don’t even have to book an appointment, we will make sure you’re given a slot as an integral part of your training programme. All you have to do is turn up!
