Professional Institute Discount Scheme (PIDS)

Here at Illumine we believe in the support and development offered by Professional Institutes, that’s why we developed The Professional Institutes Discount Scheme (PIDS).

PIDS is very simple. Illumine offers a range of public courses that enhance practical thinking skills to improve the performance of individuals and organisations.

The range of courses and workshops help to:

  • Assimilate - Essential techniques to select, absorb, remember and use relevant information
  • Communicate - Clear, persuasive, written and spoken communication skills
  • Innovate - Practical skills to generate fresh thinking, new ideas and critical insights
  • Facilitate - Draw maximum engagement and performance from individuals and groups
  • Motivate - Engage yourself and others to work at peak performance levels

These programmes make an enormous difference to the effectiveness of how people spend their time when they are absorbing information either in formal study or any other aspect of their work. PIDS has been developed so that it can be integrated into your normal membership benefits package.
