Bespoke Training Packages
Individually designed learning shaped around specific goals
Bespoke Training Packages offer individually designed learning for people who want focused support shaped around their own aims, projects, or areas of development.
These packages allow learning to be planned over a series of sessions, giving time for skills to develop gradually and confidently. They are flexible, skills-led, and designed to respond to individual needs rather than fitting into a fixed course structure.
How packages are developed
Bespoke Training Packages are developed through initial discussion.
You will be asked about your experience, goals, availability, and any specific skills you want to focus on. From this, a proposed structure will be outlined, including the number of sessions, focus areas, and timeframe.
This ensures learning is realistic, supported, and well paced.
-
These packages are suitable for people who:
Have attended Courses or Experiences and want extended, tailored support
Are returning to making after time away and want a structured re-entry
Have specific technical goals that sit outside standard course formats
Some packages may require prior experience, which will always be discussed before sessions are confirmed.
-
Bespoke Training Packages are structured learning programmes created in conversation with you.
They may focus on developing a specific technical skill, supporting work towards a particular project, or building confidence across a range of processes. The content, pace, and number of sessions are agreed in advance so expectations are clear.
Packages are taught one-to-one or in very small groups, depending on the focus.
Relationship to other learning at the Smiddy
Bespoke Training Packages sit alongside Courses, Experiences, and Further Skills & Techniques sessions.
Some people use bespoke packages to prepare for Membership or Residency applications. Others use them simply to deepen skills and stop there. There is no expectation to progress beyond the package itself.
