About Carlton Associates (2003) Ltd.
Carlton Associates (2003) Ltd. was first established in 1996 by Mike Shuff. Based in Solihull in the heart of the West Midlands, Carlton Associates provides educational, training and consultancy support to the active leisure, sport and recreation industries.
The Associates employed come from the very top of their own particular fields of expertise, and so you can be assured that you and your staff receive the highest possible standards of support.
Leisure, Sport and Recreation
Carlton Associates (2003) Ltd. has continued to expand its portfolio of training opportunities, yet still been able to maintain its enviable position of being able to provide the industry’s leading qualifications, but with a number of important considerations.
Carlton Associates (2003) Ltd will deliver qualifications at your own workplace, (or one very near to you), at a time to suit you, and at a price that you can afford. Indeed, if you have a sufficient number of staff that need any particular training course, we will be very happy to negotiate fees, dates, time amd venue with you!
Carlton Associates (2003) Ltd now delivers the Physical Activity and Leisure Management Academy programme of training and qualifications related to swimming pool water treatment. This programme is supported by our partners Sterling Hydrotech Ltd; one of the UK’s leading providers of pool plant, both in new installations and refurbishment projects. This unique relationship means that for the first time, a training provider is working in conjunction with an installer of pool plant to provide not only the best possible advice for installations, refurbishments, and replacements, but the same client can then benefit from a range of training for staff, that will be linked directly to their own installation.
All of the P.A.L.M. Academy Pool Plant Operations courses are based upon “Swimming Pool Water and Quality Standards” (the PWTAG Handbook), and comply fully with their swimming pool water quality standards.
But what about the other aspects of sport, active leisure, health and fitness training? We have now developed, for the Physical Activity and Leisure Management Academy a range of seminars, training and qualifications for all staff from new entrants to the industry ot senior managers. These include:-
- Delivering Customer Service
- Managing legislation
- Teamwork & Leadership
- Marketing
- Event Management
- Fitness Club/Centre Management, and of course
- Health & Safety
If you have a specific need, we will write a ‘tailor-made’ option for you.
