Why Choose PARN Training?

•  Fast-track Your New Staff

Bringing new team members into the professional body world? Many of our members tell us it can take up to a year for new hires from other sectors to fully grasp how a professional body works. Our courses accelerate that learning curve, giving staff the sector-specific context and confidence they need to contribute sooner.

• Equip Specialist Teams

Staff in areas like finance, IT, membership or marketing often work in silos and may lack broader understanding of the sector. Our specialist courses help them see how their roles connect to the wider mission—building collaboration, insight, and strategic alignment.

• Benchmark and Learn from Peers

Avoid reinventing the wheel. Our courses are based on benchmarking research and models developed through years of PARN-led sector study. You'll benefit from shared experiences, group work, and case studies—drawing on insights from peers in similar roles.

• Sector-Specific Insight You Won’t Find Elsewhere

With over 17 years of research and consultancy behind us, we understand what makes professional bodies unique. We blend this depth of experience with practical delivery: interactive sessions, peer debate, and takeaways you can implement right away.

• CPD-Accredited

All full-day and virtual courses are worth 6 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Bespoke Training Courses Built Around Your Team

Need training tailored to your organisation’s specific needs?

In addition to our regular training courses, we offer bespoke in-house training for teams.

Delivered at your premises or virtually, these sessions let your staff learn in a way that’s convenient, focused, and directly relevant to your organisation.

Our bespoke training can be built from elements of our unique core courses, or we can create something entirely new — it all depends on what your team needs most.

Bespoke Course Pricing

Bespoke training starts from just £1,500 + VAT for PARN members.

If you have more than five staff attending, this offers even better value than booking places on our standard courses individually.

Please contact the training team if you have a specific training requirement that you would like to discuss.
