Team Development FAQs

If you don't find the answer to your question here, see our Terms and Conditions or contact us.

Can exercises be run at the workplace or only at the Art Academy?

Most exercises can take place at any location, though a few can be quite messy and are better done at the Academy’s studios. There is a large range of exercises to choose from, so we can always find a programme that takes account of location constraints.

Are the exercises just for fun, or can they be used for serious training?

Art can be a powerful training tool as well as a way to have fun. By combining recognised training methods with art exercises, we are able to achieve some ambitious goals and address quite complex issues. On the other hand, if you just want a fun day or team bonding exercise, art materials and activities provide enormous scope.

How do the Art Academy’s courses differ from other creative training programmes?

Over the years, the Academy has devised innovative programmes combining a range of artistic techniques (e.g. painting, sculpture, collage, mosaic etc) with recognised training methods, (e.g. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, communication and dialogue techniques), to produce a unique blend. As an established art education centre with access to many skilled tutors and coaches, we are ideally placed to provide training through creativity.

Will we get a refund or reduction if not all the planned participants take part on the day?

Revised prices resulting from a reduction in the number of participants for any scheduled event may be agreed at the Art Academy’s discretion on the condition that more than 7 days notice is given.
