About us

Founded in 1990, Keyturn has been built and developed to help our clients achieve visible, measurable results – through the development of their people. Keyturn’s team has developed leadership and management programmes to enable learners to be the best they can be.

Our priority is developing people so that they are more able to do the jobs they are employed to do, gaining greater job satisfaction in the process; in turn, this produces higher levels of motivation and achievement.

We are best known for our dedication to providing great customer service, and for our ability to Deliver Visible Results! That’s practical on-the-job results which your organisation can see, measure and recognise, clearly demonstrating the return on your investment.

Through our unique approach, participants on Keyturn programmes focus on achieving results! This begins from the earliest stages of their learning through to seeing real changes taking place in their working environment. Our training programmes include Leadership and Management, including courses on Personal Development, Graduate Development and Qualifcations. We are an Approved ILM Approved Centre for ILM Qualifications.

Commitment to Results

Results are the hallmark of success in today’s markets, and that’s exactly what you can expect from Keyturn. Our commitment to achieving results is driven by a desire and a determination to get things right for you, each step of the way.

Defining required results is the single most important criteria in ensuring learning and development is focused on achievement – right from the beginning.

When you entrust Keyturn to carry out learning and development on your behalf, preparatory steps will form an integral and vital part of the successful completion of your programme. Keyturn’s team will work closely with your in-house management team to help you define and achieve results in the way you want to achieve them.

We take responsibility to facilitate a thorough process, ensuring alignment of organisational and individual expectations and a learning programme focused on achieving relevant results.

Delivering Visible Results

Keyturn’s market-leading, unique learning-application tools and methods, guarantee you visible and measurable results from your investment.

Working with you, Keyturn design practical learning-application options as an automatic part of your learning and development programme. We then take responsibility to ensure participants demonstrate how they have used what they have learnt in their day-to-day work. It is only on satisfactory demonstration of this that we send a ‘Certificate of Achievement’. The programme is only a success when learning has been integrated into the workplace, contributing to the development of your business. This is our commitment to you!

Community Support

Keyturn are committed to bringing the best out of people and therefore we support local charities in order to help others achieve this. We have been financially supporting the following three local charities for many years who are doing fantastic work in the community:

Futures Unlocked

Futures Unlocked is a brilliant, pioneering charity which provides mentoring support to people coming out of prison into Warwickshire. Futures Unlocked has a successful model and a proven track record in helping people turn their lives around and work through unspeakable backstories and challenges. Various projects run including a community interest café, art gallery and shop which provide their clients and other members of the community with qualifications and work placements.
