Bespoke training

We don’t just provide training at our regular classes; we can also create bespoke training sessions on a range of topics for your organisation, tailored to your needs and audience. Whether you want self-defence workshops or help with LGBTQIA+ diversity and inclusion, we’re here to help.

Members of BENT have provided self-defence, gender awareness and diversity, equity and inclusion training to organisations including HSBC, BT, Nestlé, Mind, Card Factory and more. We have worked with SMEs, charities and multinational corporations and can tailor our offering to whatever your needs are.

Gender and trans awareness training.

Trans and gender diverse people are so frequently put last in the world of sports and fitness, and part of the reason for this is a simple lack of understanding. We started BENT in part to tackle this, and we want to share our knowledge to other businesses to help them cater to the growing gender diverse population.

We can provide training on the needs of trans and gender diverse people for any business, tailored to match your industry and your specific needs. Whether you’re looking to improve how you deal with trans customers, clients or employees, we can help.

Self-defence workshops.

Keeping your workforce safe should be a priority for any business, and a few simple concepts could help save someone’s life. We can provide self-defence classes ranging from online workshops to full in-person courses, customised to your bespoke needs.

Some examples of topics we can teach include de-escalation, safety awareness, self-defence law, and of course general self-defence techniques and strategies.

DEI training.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is something many businesses don’t see as a priority. However, diverse workforces have been proven to be more creative, inclusive businesses earn more on average, and focusing on DEI is a great way to retain younger talent.

We can provide training on everything from engaging with allyship to inclusive recruitment. If you want to connect with a diverse audience or become a more inclusive employer, we can provide you with the training and the resources to help you take that step.
