Frequently asked questions
What is coping with stress training?
Coping with stress training is designed to help employees understand what stress is by recognising their personal stress signals and then developing practical coping strategies. It focuses on identifying the factors that contribute to stress, understanding the physical, mental, emotional and behavioural indicators, and building a personal action plan to manage pressure more effectively.
Who should attend coping with stress training?
It is suitable for employees who feel they operate in a stressful environment – for example, people with significant time pressures or managerial responsibilities, or whose employers want to equip them with the skills to be effective, grounded members of staff.
What is the difference between mental health training and coping with stress training?
Although there is significant overlap, mental health training is usually broader, covering awareness of mental health and supportive conversations. Our Coping with Stress course is more workplace focused: recognising stress indicators in real work scenarios such as time, targets and pressures, and developing practical coping strategies and personal action plans that delegates can use directly in their roles.
Where are the public courses held?
Public courses run at our venues in Preston, Liverpool, Manchester and London. Contact us for the next available dates.
Can the course be delivered remotely or tailored to our organisation?
Yes. The in-house fee covers delivery at your premises or as a live online class via Microsoft Teams, and every in-house course starts with a free training needs analysis so it reflects the pressures your people actually face.
What is the actor-led option?
Our actor-led option adds professional actors to the training day, so attendees can practise handling pressured workplace situations with someone who responds exactly as a colleague or customer would – and get feedback on how it landed. Find out more about training with professional actors.
What do attendees receive?
Every attendee receives reference materials and a course completion certificate, and we provide free post-course telephone and email support.
Training a larger group?
Our in-house closed course price covers groups of up to 8 people, and the actor-led option can be run for any group size. If you have a larger team, or several teams to train, please speak with one of our team to discuss this further. We will help you work out the best way to run it and put together a tailored quote.
