Examples of Projects

Bristol Healthy Schools

Following extensive feedback from schools, students and teaching staff highlighting the key emotional health and wellbeing issues that impact on years 7-11 students, we have developed a series of teachers resources, lesson plans and evaluation approaches to help students to manage EHW more effectively. Each lesson objectives are  taken from the PSHE Association Curriculum Framework and have been developed to: 

• Deliver age-appropriate skills over the 5 year period
• Build year-on-year so that individuals learn skills to experience positive mental health during their school time
• Deliver skills for life so they are better equipped as they move on to further education or work to maintain good mental health

Fire and Rescue Service

Montpellier was chosen to support the Centre for Leadership at the Fire Service College in developing and delivering change across the UK Fire Services from one of fire-fighting to fire prevention through a more proactive customer focused approach. We did this through enhancing the skills of 800 representatives from over 40 FRS through development and delivery of ILM accredited and non-accredited programmes in interpersonal, communication, coaching, leadership and management skills programmes at all levels supported and managed by a FRS tailored version of our online learning portal. We have also supported individual FRS directly. With West Midlands Fire Service, we developed 24 coaching champions to support internal employees utilising the ILM  Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring in Management and developed 120 first line managers in Interpersonal & Communication and Coaching skills, all aimed at developing a culture of coaching within the service. We also worked closely with a consortium of Glos, Wilts and Avon Services in developing a bespoke Coaching programme for 50 managers and accredited it with ILM.

To support their scientific skills, they also wanted to develop greater management and leadership skills for their technical people. We developed and delivered a series of 16 key areas through an ILM accredited programme run over an 8 month period which enabled them to practice skills learned in the workplace and demonstrate how they did this effectively through assignment submissions. The workshops were supported by an online learning portal with supporting information, workbooks and assignment uploading facilities.

FIS

The FIS is the representative organisation for the Interiors Sector. They provide membership services, best practise training, guidance and advice to member businesses specialising in planning and installation of Partitions, Suspended Ceilings, Ancillary Services and Acoustics. They wanted to enhance and expand their learning and development support services to members and help them maximise business opportunities as well as provide technical training support, all in low-cost, flexible and easily accessible formats. To support these aims, we developed and delivered e-learning versions of their best practise technical training approaches, including online testing in Installation of Partitioning, Introduction to Office Acoustics, Selection and Installation of Suspended Ceilings and Selection and Installation of Top Fixings for Suspended Ceilings. We also developed a series of ILM accredited, and non-accredited standalone management skills modules in workshop, e-Learning and workbook formats including online testing covering key business development and management and staff learning areas. This enabled members to choose the skills areas they wanted to develop and utilise the formats that best met their business needs and build their own programme content. All formats and programmes are managed and where appropriate, delivered through an FIS branded version of our learning portal which enabled members to access all learning through PC, Laptop, Tablet and SmartPhone. We also developed and delivered a series of films promoting careers in the sector, benefits of undertaking learning and information on Business Information Modelling.
