Our story
Georgina Selmi and Val Swales founded BePro back in 2014.
Following years of teaching at local colleges, the mother and daughter duo spotted an opportunity to branch out independently, providing professional development solutions specifically targeted to business and education. Determined to provide an exceptional learning experience, Georgina and Val swiftly identified their core values – Quality, Integrity and Ethics.
Today, BePro offer a vast range of courses, apprenticeships and training packages catered to both individuals and employers. Throughout the last nine years the team has grown from just 2, to almost 50 staff. Experienced managers, specialist trainers and coaches are all supported by a fantastic admin and client engagement team. Over time, BePro’s practices and course offerings have developed to meet market demand, though one thing has remained the same – the core mission to provide an exceptional learning experience at all times.
In line with their founding values, BePro continue to deliver cost-effective training solutions, ensuring accessibility and quality of learning remain the company’s primary focus. BePro aim to combat some of the ineffective learning provision in existence, bringing quality and integrity to the whole of the UK.
Real talk...
Bespoke Professional Development and Training Ltd has provided all of CPI’s apprenticeships in HR and L&D for 3 years now. Over that time, we have experienced their continual development in both the way their apprenticeships are ran and the offering available... The feedback from our apprentices have been that their deliverers are engaging and encouraging which means we are looking to continue our links with BePro in the future."
