Learning and Development

The Portico Training Academy is market leading in its range of pathways and bespoke courses. It offers a variety of tailored programmes designed to equip our people with the tools and resources they need to flourish in their career with us.

Our approach is to provide dedicated coaching for employees who want to further their skills, and to offer mentoring and buddies for those who’d like more support and guidance. We also encourage autonomy when making choices about the way they work. By trusting them to make informed decisions, we give them the confidence to reach their personal and career goals.

The Institute of Leadership and Management is the UK’s leading provider of leadership, management and coaching qualifications. Over one million people have taken an ILM qualification since 2001, and we are proud to be joining this community of committed learning and development professionals in offering new qualifications to support the continuing growth, development and well-being of our people and teams.

Portico was also achieved ‘Accredited Learning Department’ status from The LPI (Learning and Performance Institute). The accreditation further highlights our strong commitment to learning and development, which is deeply embedded in our company’s culture.

Our ‘Thank You’ programme at Portico offers a number of rewards including vouchers for an individual’s favourite restaurant, a bouquet of flowers or extra time off to show them that we’ve noticed the amazing work they’ve been doing.

We also hold an annual Summer Social, our Portico People Awards night and our Heart Awards, as well as a variety of social events throughout the year. Our people say that incentives like these give them a feeling of security and pride, while also encouraging them to keep up a high standard of work.

By investing in our people through structured learning pathways, we foster a culture of growth, opportunity, and loyalty at Portico.
