  • Princess Royal Training Awards

    Launched in 2016, the Princess Royal Training Awards were created after listening to feedback from employers. Their objective was simple: to reward and celebrate organisations which saw the value and wider organisational benefits of investing in learning and development. The Awards are supported by President, HRH The Princess Royal, who is a keen advocate of skills development.

    The Awards are evidence-based and applications are assessed against a standard of excellence, which are called Hallmarks. This means that organisations don’t compete against each other; instead you need to show that through your exceptional training and development programmes, you are meeting a standard of excellence.

    Every year they celebrate recipients from huge global organisations (who can prove their impact within the UK) to small non-profits and organisations of all shapes and sizes in between. What they all share is the ability to show that their investment in learning and development is making a positive and measurable impact on their organisation.

    The Princess Royal Training Awards have created a robust application process, and time and commitment is needed in order to apply.

    The Awards are free to enter, royally recognised and independently assessed by a team of experienced Assessors.
