Retail Training

Built on the latest retail knowledge our courses are designed specifically for the retail industry. Many are accredited to national standards and all are developed by experienced retail professionals who combine business knowledge with the latest teaching techniques.

If you’re not sure what your training requirements are, we can provide friendly advice to help you identify the skills needs at all levels of your business and match this with the right training courses.

We’ve designed training programmes centred on three key retail skills areas - sales, buying and management.

In retailing you often need a more rounded skill set so our programmes enable you to dip in to different areas to learn something new or as a refresher as the need arises.

The residential schools are well established events in the retail calendar and are highly respected, both home and abroad. Our flagship course, the Oxford Summer School has been running for over 80 years.

Our course tutors are made up of retail industry owners, directors and experts, business and sales professionals, all with both academic and practical industry experience. Their up-to-date knowledge and techniques benefit delegates from retailers of all sizes and sectors across bira. Here’s a summary of the courses available:
