Zonal delivers its core product training from its accredited innovation centre in Abingdon, where custom-designed training rooms have the capability of imitating various customer site configurations offering an interactive classroom style environment.

Vic Wiseman, the LPI’s chief learning and performance consultant, said: “I have been working with Zonal over the last few years to reshape and up skill the learning and development team and the Training Centre environment. I am pleased to congratulate them on achieving Learning Provider Accreditation at the prestigious Gold Standard level (GSA)."

E-learning​

Hammill added: “An increasing number of hospitality and retail outlets are turning to e-learning as an effective training tool for employees who are often scattered in different locations and working different shift patterns.

“Having developed such a broad range of certified training programmes, we have recently completed projects on behalf of John Lewis, M&B and Stonegate with extremely positive feedback.”
