Empowering young people for a bright, confident future.
Practical workshops & activities
We deliver a range of exciting, practical workshops for children and young people, helping them develop appropriate skills for a bright, fulfilling and successful life.
Our programmes are fun and productive. We offer a range of workshops and courses for children (8 to 11) and teens (12 to 16+).
We are also developing a range of professional education courses to help launch careers. Our first, in partnership with SPA Professional Academy, is the CIM Foundation Certificate in Professional Marketing (Level 3) and will be available from January 2023.
The BrightLife Learning team are experienced trainers who also hold current Enhanced DBS Certificates.
At the moment, all workshops are demand led.

BrightLife Learning Master Class
This is our very practical master class workshop series, based on a quality printed journal (included). Sessions are designed to empower young people to face challenges with confidence, embrace mistakes and setbacks and develop a “can do” attitude.
We use inspiring stories, engaging guided activities and stimulating discussion. The programme is based on materials and exercises designed by psychologists and teachers and features 10 important soft skill development themes, underpinned by a social and emotional learning approach.
The programme provides an ideal basis for success in school, home, social life, and for work and young adulthood.
We currently offer two separate age-appropriate programmes - for 8 to 11’s and 12 to 16’s. Each programme is delivered in weekly face-to-face sessions for up to 6 persons. We also offer a custom version for delivery in your home education classroom.
Growth Mindset
This short course is focused on developing a strong and positive mindset and includes a number of activities to help develop confidence and resilience using a range of individual and group activities. This further develops related skills included in the school curriculum. As with our other programmes, we offer age-appropriate versions for 8 to 11s and 12 to 16s.
Young Entrepreneurs
From big international companies to tiny one person businesses, every entrepreneur needs to start somewhere and this programme is designed to be a launching pad for an ambitious young person. We provide lots of business advice, practical tips, up-to-date ideas and plenty of inspiration to help get that great idea launched. We provide a step-by-step framework and cover essential business skills and techniques.
Generating Ideas, products & services development, business plan, legal aspects, marketing, finance, operations - all designed to make start-ups simple and stress free!
We offer two programmes: “KidPreneurs” aimed at children (8 to 11) and the other for young people aged 12 to 16+. The latter can usually integrate with a school GCSE business studies course - or, for those not taking the GCSE in Business, can provide relevant grounding for direct entry business studies at A-Level.
Money Wise Teens
The money disciplines your teen very probably won’t be taught in school!
We cover money, budgeting, saving, investing, borrowing, spending, community giving and volunteering.
Taught in a fun, practical and engaging way with only the minimum of simple maths.
Foundation Certificate in Professional Marketing
In partnership with SPA Professional Academy, we now offer young people (16 to 18+) an opportunity to gain a professional qualification in marketing, awarded by the Chartered Institute of Marketing. Study for this qualification alongside A Levels or if you have decided to leave school at 16+ and are currently undertaking an apprenticeship or traineeship for example. Courses are held locally on as face-to-face basis. Taught locally by a highly experienced CIM-qualified marketing trainer.
