“Lean-in and enjoy the challenge.”
2023 has seen growth in the business (by 40%) as Benchmark continues to deliver effective learning and development programmes nationally. Success is largely due to our high-calibre trainers/coaches who immerse themselves in the client’s environment; match the shift-working patterns; in all weather conditions; and become ‘one of the team’. Their consistent results are maintained through an excellent combination of a positive attitude; role-modelling expected behaviours; applying learned experience as leaders; holding Teaching and Coaching qualifications; and being RISQS certified for working in safety critical environments.
As well as our USP – on-site coaching with leaders and their teams in safety critical environments – we continue to deliver traditional leadership development and behavioural change programmes bespoke to the client’s requirements. These include both virtual and face-to-face workshop settings using interactive and engaging techniques.
Most of our L&D programmes are ‘repeat business’ with nationally based clients such as Network Rail, Babcock International, Inspiro Ltd, WM Lee, various Rail & Freight Operating Companies.
Please drop us a line if you would like a bespoke L&D solution for your business.

Tuesday, November 6th, 2018ILM Level 2 Programme Update
In early October Benchmark Training Ltd delivered two days of leadership development activities on behalf of Babcock International Group for Cohort Five of the Network Rail Apprenticeship scheme. A total of 157 apprentices participated in a series of highly practical leadership development activities over two days, during their induction week at Network Rail’s Westwood Training Centre.
The aim of the two days was to give the apprentices a flavour of what to expect during the ILM Level 2 Certificate in Team Leading element of their apprenticeship. Each activity focussed on fun and engagement and involved the apprentices applying many of the skills and behaviours underpinning effective leadership including assessing, planning, briefing, coaching, motivating and reviewing. The programme was a great way to introduce the new apprentices to the very positive impact that great leadership has on the business and further encouraged their interest and understanding in this key capability that typically underpins successful individual and team safety and performance.
