About Basis Training
Expert training for government transformation
We’re passionate about transforming public services to improve the lives of real people.
We’ve actually been doing this for over 20 years. By developing and applying innovative and effective methods and practices to help you tackle messy problems.
10 years ago, we established our flagship training, the Agile Master in Public Services, which has over 1,000 alumni. Since then, Basis Training has become the expert training provider for government transformation courses, such as Service Design for Public Services and Change Skills.
We bring our courses to life with real examples. And let you learn by doing through engaging, interactive and fun activities – the best way to learn!
