Develop Training Core Values

Our success depends on how we work. Everything we do is guided by our core values. We’ve identified four key principles that are fundamental to our people, our work and our results.

Integrity

We are effective, skilled and serious about what we do.

Professionalism

We believe in being honest and fair and delivering on our promise.

Respect

We treat our customers, stakeholders and staff courteously, honestly and fairly.

Responsiveness

We respond to our customers and the sector’s expectations and provide a great experience for all.

Background to Develop Training

Develop Training was established in its current form in 2007, but has a history of training and assessment stretching back nearly 50 years. The organisation has a staff of over 100 as well as a rich network of associates, sub-contractors and partnerships which form an extended corporate family.

Providing services for many of the UK’s largest infrastructure companies, in addition to thousands of smaller firms, and training over 10,000 learners every year, Develop Training has established a robust Code of Practice and Continuous Learning Loop model which underpins its whole operation.

In 2019 Develop Training was acquired by the JTL Group, with both organisations continuing to operate under their current trading names, with business as usual.

Training sector expertise

All our training centres have diversified such that most training solutions can be delivered from each centre or on client premises. With the exception of some programmes requiring larger and more fixed assets, the vast majority of other training has become more flexible, more mobile and more local, driven by the market and our clients.
