The training company is the ABM’s first step in becoming a significant provider of mentoring training across the range of needs in business mentoring. From entry to Masters level courses, the company will provide training to ABM members and the wider business mentoring community, supporting them on their professional development journey.
The announcement is part of the ABM’s plans to continue to support business mentors through professional development training, one of its key strategic goals. The subsidiary also supports the ABM’s plans to build its profile and reputation within the business support landscape as the go to organisation for professional business mentoring.
"ABM Training & Development is an exciting next step for the ABM, its members, and the wider business support landscape. Training is a vital part of professional development and ABM Training & Development will deliver training from entry to Masters level, ensuring that there is training for whatever stage business mentors are at in their professional journeys."
As part of the launch, the ABM was also delighted to announce its strategic partnership with award winning training provider, Agile Group.
Agile Group, owned by renowned mentoring and coaching trainer Pete Stevens, is a highly regarded and successful mentoring and coaching training provider in the UK and overseas. Its team is well known in the mentoring and coaching landscape for its ILM courses, recently wining an award for “Best customised Training, 2024”. Agile have been a core part of the ABM’s work in recent years, most recently working closely with the ABM to deliver ILM courses to mentors on a government funded business support programme.
From entry level to Masters level, Agile will deliver a suite of ILM courses to business mentors, supporting them on their professional mentoring journey.
“We are excited to be working with the Association of Business Mentors through our strategic partnership to support the development of Business Mentors across the UK. Agile Group, ABM and Business Mentors are all in the knowledge business and we have found that the more you do for others the more you gain yourself. However, you need to give yourselves the opportunity to be successful and that means continual professional development and learning against professional standards. Agile and ABM have the map, the guide, the route, and we want people who have the passion, the motivation and are energised when mentoring others to become more successful. Together we can change the world.”
