“Oriel Square’s training was personal, face-to-face and, most importantly, relevant to our business and our needs. The trainer was extremely discreet and highly credible – all of my team listened carefully to him as he delivered the workshop. They were respectful of his approach and his experience and fed back very positively on the whole day.”
Senior Publisher
Oriel Square’s training courses give publishers and content providers expert training that is tailored to the education market. Our courses are designed to be fun and engaging, whilst instilling knowledge and skills for participants to successfully apply for their own projects and organisations.
Our courses reflect our values: they are handpicked to promote diversity, sustainability and effective leadership within our industry, with the overall purpose of supporting better education.
Each course delivers up-to-date best practices, as used by Oriel Square, and is delivered by an expert in that area. Participants will have an engaging and collaborative learning experience, with access to follow-up advice. We also expect group courses to be networking opportunities: group courses are open to individuals from organisations and freelancers, and we encourage partner and group work throughout sessions.
Each course includes:
- Expert in-person training
- Certification, either by Oriel Square or industry bodies
- Refreshments (and lunch for day courses)
“The training course was very accommodating and flexible. John and Sam provided engaging well-run sessions and a great deal of relevant experience.”
Corporate strategy facilitation
A review of strategic priorities for a major educational publisher in the wake of the pandemic.
Read moreCorporate strategy facilitation
We worked with the senior team within a major educational publisher to review their strategic priorities in the wake of the pandemic. This involved planning and delivering a hybrid workshop for the global team and, subsequently, producing a strategy report which offered a clear, practical action plan.
Our approach to strategy follows the framework laid out by Richard Rumelt in Good Strategy/Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters (2011), which is notable for its lack of jargon and insistence on clarity and coherence in action planning. After delivering an interactive, tailored workshop, our report included a diagnosis of the publisher’s competitive position as well as a guiding policy statement to inform the final action plan.

RM inclusion workshop
Our diversity and inclusion Subject Champion, Imaan Munir, leads our inclusion training offering. Oriel Square’s Five Aspects of Representation in Education workshop helps participants to understand the different aspects of representation and learn how to use them to prioritise intersectionality and transform their approach to diversity and inclusion initiatives. This diversity and inclusion workshop for RM focused on representation in educational content.
All of our training can be tailored to meet specific needs. For RM, we delivered an in-person diversity and inclusion workshop to help the team gain a better understanding of how to assess and adapt specific resources to make them more inclusive. We used Oriel Square’s Five Aspects ‘Specs’ of Representation to approach intersectionality through the lens of race, gender, class, neurodiversity and disability.
The RM team is working hard to achieve its goal of making its resources inclusive for all as they seek out new ideas and best practices to develop their understanding.
Our training is continually updated and is informed by leading industry events and research with organisations working to make the education sector more inclusive. Read our blog about why representation matters or click below to find out more about our diversity and inclusion training.
Online CPD modules with Carina Consulting for IBMS

We worked with Carina Consulting to produce CPD eLearning modules for The Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). Each module included interactive elements such as quizzes and animations to create an engaging user experience, suitable for all types of learners.
As well as briefing the module content and carrying out all editorial stages, we briefed media content and developed interactive quizzes and assessments to adapt the modules for an online format. Since the content required very technical diagrams and images, we worked with a science animation specialist to ensure high quality and accuracy across the modules. Alongside this, we briefed storyboards and scripted videos which were then produced to assist learning and enhance the user experience further.
Here’s what the client had to say:
“Competent team, good planning, great communication and high-quality outputs.”
