We are a small, family run business, based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. I am the owner and trainer of Pochat Training, and my name is Ottilia Pochat. I have been in education in one way or another since I was young (I'm still just over 21, mind you). I trained as a primary school teacher, specialised in teaching children with special educational needs, in the Netherlands. This meant that I spent four years learning to teach - we didn't learn about the subjects themselves, but focused on all other aspects of teaching. This included making one's own teaching materials in order to make the learning fun and engaging for the children.
That, together with an international career, is what I bring to Pochat Training - the ability to make the learning fun, engaging, interactive and varied. And that also counts for health and safety training - there is absolutely no need for that to be boring!
