Activia Training - our history

Early years

Although you will not have heard the name Activia before early 2002, the company was actually formed in 1995 to deliver high-quality Microsoft Office training solutions to the business and personal market.

Initially allied to the Future Training group, we then operated independently for a few years as Focus on Training, adding Sage software training to our portfolio and becoming preferred suppliers for Office IT training to an increasing number of companies as we strengthened our position in the business training market.

Moving on...

In February 2002, we moved into the Baylis House Business Centre, concentrating entirely on the business and public sector markets, adding Lotus training to our IT portfolio, and bespoke Staff Development courses to our overall range.   Our levels of activity have increased considerably ever since, as we have delivered training to the Ministry of Defence, schools, colleges, local councils and hospitals as well as a growing number of businesses of all sizes.

Competitiveness is key

The training market is highly competitive, but it is important that you select the right provider because what may appear to be a standard course will often be delivered in completely different ways.   Our approach is to provide a highly competitive price structure that gives what we fell is the best value for money in the market, without compromising the high quality standards we have established over the years.   Needless to say, this produces continual growth in our sales and our client base.

New premises

Our move in 2003 to the flagship Regus Business Centre on the Bath Road in Slough was another step in our advance, giving not only more office space but also backup services and an environment of the highest quality with air conditioned training rooms and a well-equipped dining area in a large, modern atrium area.

More courses

We have extended our range of courses, now offering a wide choice that covers almost every area of desktop software and business-related job and management skills.   IT applications training now includes courses for Microsoft, Sage, Crystal Reports, Adobe and Macromedia products, and our Staff Development courses now include a range of options under Employee Skills, HR/Supervision, Sales and Management training.

Continuing growth

We are continuing to grow our team, our range of courses and our client base -- so you can be sure you are dealing with a positive and solid company when you arrange your training with Activia.

Success based on service

Activia's continued success is the result of making sure that client needs are fully addressed, both before and during the training : our post-course assessments show that virtually every delegate scores us as "either "very good" or "excellent" on all criteria, and our retention rate for clients is virtually 100%.
