Feel Like You're Starting From Scratch?
You're Not Alone.

Starting and building a business as a communication skills trainer can feel isolating without the right support. That’s why having a community of others who are in (and have been in) the same position as you matters.

Feel Like You're Starting From Scratch?

 

You're Not Alone.
 

It brings guidance, accountability, and clarity when you’re stuck. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel; you just need people who’ve rolled it before. You’ve already got the talent, skill and passion to teach communication skills. People trust your ability to guide and transform. But turning that into a business? That’s where it gets confusing.

 

“Where do I find good content I can actually teach?”

“How do I get a valid qualification so people will take me seriously?”

“How do I get booked to run workshops if no one knows me yet?”

 

If you've been Googling things like:

 

  • communication skills training business model

  • ready-made communication training programmes

  • how to start a communication skills training business

 

You’re in the right place. The CPLT pathway was made for people exactly like you.

I’m Carly, founder of the Communicate Powerfully Licensed Trainer Programme (CPLT).

If you’re ready to turn your skills at the front of the room into a thriving communication training business.

I built this for you.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from delivering transformational workshops, building repeat client relationships, and growing a business that works—and poured it into CPLT.

You’ll get the content, the coaching, and a clear plan to build a business you’re proud of, just like I did.
 

This isn’t a hands-off, one-and-done course. I’ll be right in your corner—helping you back yourself, feel confident in sales conversations, and build something that lasts.

You won’t just feel awesome about it—you’ll be awesome. I’ll help you:

  • Deliver powerful, ready-to-run workshops with confidence

  • Be seen as a trusted expert with a programme that works

  • Win repeat clients and consistent referrals

 

Let’s do this, together. You in?

  • What specific techniques make communication training more interactive and engaging?
    Make it RIPE: Relevant, Interactive, Practical, Engaging. Every 8-10 minutes learners need to be active and either reflecting, reviewing, discussing or practicing. Mix up your delivery and visual aids.
  • How do licensing models work for ready-made training programmes?
    You get the content, the support, and the tools. Your job is to deliver it, support your clients and grow your business..
  • What are the different ways to structure a communication training business?
    License a proven programme, build your own, or blend both with coaching and facilitation.
  • Which training methodologies produce the best participant outcomes?
    Ones that blend science, story, and safe practice spaces.
  • How much time and investment is required to develop original training content?
    Oh my days - Lots! It’s hours and hours of work if you want it to be robust, current and behaviour changing.
  • What are the advantages of licensing versus creating my own training materials?
    Speed, quality, resources, community, support and not having to reinvent the wheel.
  • How do successful independent trainers price and package their services?
    One option is to price on value and outcomes, over hours, and often package for long-term growth.
  • What marketing strategies work best for communication training businesses?
    Word of mouth, referrals, and showing up as your real self online.
  • How can I differentiate my training services from competitors in the market?
    Be more you. Authenticity cuts through louder than buzzwords. It helps to be clear on what you do, why you do it, who you do it with, why it works and how.
  • What credentials or certifications do I need to be taken seriously as a trainer?
    Your results speak louder than paper, though some orgs still love logos. It comes down to what you feel you need and what is important to the people you want to work with.
