Accessibility and inclusion made simple
Disability-led learning
Our disability-led training is informed by 22 years of experience supporting live music and outdoor events industries to improve accessibility.
We have trained over 10,000 industry professionals to date, and currently train around 500 people a year across a wide range of sectors.
All of our training is designed and delivered by people with lived experience of access requirements, overseen by our Head of Skills Development Paul Hawkins, who holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and Diploma to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector.
“One of the most important training courses you will ever experience, challenging preconceptions and delivering key messages that will be a real game changer for you and your organisation.”

Capacity for this is currently limited, but we will be able to deliver this course again later in the year.
Over three days, we will train your Learning and Development Team to deliver our training and provide attendees with a three-year license and training support. The license is renewable after a further day’s refresher training.

“The Attitude is Everything ‘Train the Trainer’ training was extremely beneficial to SEC as an organisation and the partner services we use. Not only was the training thorough, supportive and very well presented, it was also very ‘real world advice’ and adapted to our needs as a venue business. In addition, as we’ve been rolling it out to various groups of staff as needed (stewards, Event Managers, Heads of Department and soon to be Executive Directors) everyone has commented on how well the trainers know the subject and the obvious enthusiasm they have for the project; of course that’s driven by the individuals’ own passion for improvement, but it’s also a testament to how confident they feel presenting quite a tricky subject at time, a confidence that’s borne out of the training they received from Attitude is Everything.”
