About Equinox Academy
We are a team of specialists passionate about our work and with a common ambition to share learning experiences with people in the business community as well as with civil servants and civil society.
Our training and educational services take a holistic view. We usually (when budget is available) start from a thorough training needs analysis that looks at desired organisational performance and the skills required to achieve it as well as those available to the organisation, all the way to learning styles assessments and the provision of the training courses themselves, designed in line with the learning styles of the attendees. We also assist organisations in the application for funding of training courses from sources available at that point in time. Our training is targeted, interactive and relevant. It
focuses on the behaviours necessary for the achievement of business objectives. We aim, wherever possible, to deliver measurable performance improvement, and support our work with deep knowledge of measurement and evaluation of learning. Our ability to combine training and subject matter expertise across systems and processes allows us focus on improving operational performance. Therefore, our solutions often go beyond ‘training’. We understand that performance is influenced by a combination of factors, and we seek to influence them as broadly as possible. Most of our solutions represent a blended approach to learning, reflecting our belief that only the right mix of media, tailored to the audience, will result in behavioural change that can bring about performance improvement.
