About Blakes' Training and Consultancy
Practical learning. Higher standards. Stronger performance.
Founded in 2009, Blakes' Training and Consultancy is a family-owned organisation specialising in corporate and professional training delivered face-to-face and virtually.
Our story
Built around the realities of work.
Blakes' Training and Consultancy began by delivering accounting and consultancy services to small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly across western Jamaica. Through that work, the team identified gaps in how businesses approached operations and professional development and expanded into structured corporate training.
Today, the Institute delivers programmes tailored for Jamaican and international contexts, helping managers, supervisors, general staff and professionals strengthen the capabilities needed to support organisational objectives.
Training assurance
Licensed content, delivered for real-world application.
BTI workshops are delivered using properly licensed training content and materials. This gives organisations confidence that the learning resources used in our programmes are legitimately sourced and used, while our facilitators focus on making the material practical and relevant to the workplace.
What “licensed” means here
It refers to the workshop content and training materials used by BTI. It should not be interpreted as a claim of government accreditation or professional certification unless a specific workshop expressly states that status.
How our programmes work
Learn it. Apply it. Reflect. Improve.
Training is designed to move beyond the classroom so participants can practise new skills in their actual work environment.
Learn
Instructor-led modules combine teaching, discussion and practical activities. Face-to-face workshops typically run 6–7 hours per day.
Go & Do
Participants can be given workplace practice activities to apply what they learned under the direction of their immediate supervisor.
Review & Assess
Participants reconvene to share learning and complete assessments designed to confirm understanding and practical application.
Vision
Higher standards live together.
At Blakes' Training and Consultancy, growth, creativity, goals, innovation, success and high performance live in harmony.
