Something new for learning and talent development is on its way.
National training solutions that strengthen capability and create opportunity.
Invest in talent.
Built around your business.
Practical learning.
We start with your business, not a course list.
Talnova helps employers build the capability their businesses need. Through apprenticeships, professional development and practical training, we connect learning with the work people actually do.
Our background is in developing people inside a busy operational business — frontline teams, shift patterns, customer expectations and managers with little spare time. That experience shapes how we work with every employer, from a salon developing its first apprentice to a national business that wants consistent supervisor development across its sites.
You don’t need to know which qualification you want. Start with the challenge.
Recruit an apprentice and develop them in the role from day one.
Upskill existing colleagues through an apprenticeship or focused short courses.
Help supervisors and team leaders take on people responsibilities with confidence.
Bring the same standard of practice to every team, shift and site.
Help staff with different starting points use your systems and tools well.
A skills review looks across your business and turns the gaps into a practical plan.
These are the working environments our experience comes from. Leadership, HR and digital skills are needed in every one of them.
Safe working, quality checks, supervisor capability and customer interactions.
Frontline leadership, communication across shifts, digital reporting and service consistency.
Customer experience, complaint handling and team leadership.
People management, HR practice, project delivery, digital working and improvement.
Apprentice development, technical skills, client experience, salon leadership and marketing.
Working in a sector isn’t the same as delivering its specialist qualifications. We’ll always be clear about what we deliver ourselves.
We start by understanding your business and the people doing the work.
We recommend learning that fits the need — which might be shorter than you expect, or might not be us.
At your workplace, at our Leeds academy, online or a mix, planned around operational cover.
We agree how you’ll tell whether learning is being used at work, and review it together.
It depends on the role and what needs to change. Apprenticeships suit substantial new learning connected to a job; short courses suit a specific skill gap. Talk to us and we’ll give you an honest recommendation.
Yes. We support employers nationally, with our flagship academy in Leeds. Where and how each programme can be delivered is confirmed for your locations.
Yes. We match the scale of what we do to your organisation — a single apprentice or a one-off workshop is a perfectly good place to start.
Commercial training is priced to your requirement and we’ll give you a clear proposal. Apprenticeship training may be funded where your organisation, employee and programme are eligible — we’ll check that with you.
