Live Online Sessions: Interactive Training for Mastering Land Acquisition and Planning

In the dynamic world of land acquisition and planning, the ability to adapt, understand, and apply best practices in real-time is critical. Bartons’ Live Online Sessions provide a personalised learning experience designed to take your planning and land acquisition skills to the next level. These sessions allow participants to engage directly with expert trainers in a live, interactive environment, enabling a hands-on approach to mastering complex planning scenarios and land acquisition strategies. Whether in a group setting or a one-to-one format, our live sessions provide the opportunity to dive deep into the key aspects of land acquisition and planning, offering real-time feedback and tailored guidance.

The Power of Live, Interactive Training

Bartons’ Live Online Sessions are designed to mirror the depth and breadth of our comprehensive E-Learning modules, but with the added benefit of live, hands-on guidance. Participants can ask questions, seek clarification, and engage with complex topics in a way that is simply not possible through traditional, self-paced learning alone. With the guidance of expert trainers, your team can delve into specific challenges, work through real-world scenarios, and apply their knowledge in a practical, meaningful way.

Whether you are looking for group sessions to train an entire team or one-to-one mentoring for more personalised support, Bartons’ Live Online Sessions offer the flexibility and depth needed to ensure that participants are well-prepared to tackle the challenges of land acquisition and planning.

Group Sessions: Collaborative Learning for Teams

Group sessions are an ideal way to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and build a unified understanding of the planning system within your team. Bartons’ Live Online Group Sessions provide an engaging and interactive learning environment where team members can learn together, share insights, and collectively work through complex planning scenarios.

Our group sessions cover the same material as our E-Learning modules, including:

• Navigating Council Planning Policy Websites: Learning how to effectively access and interpret planning policies is crucial for successful land acquisition. In our group sessions, participants work together under the guidance of an expert trainer to navigate council planning policy websites, identify key policies, and understand how these policies impact land acquisition strategies. This collaborative approach ensures that every team member is equipped with the skills needed to make informed decisions.
• Using GIS Software to Identify Site Constraints: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are an invaluable tool for assessing potential development sites. In our group sessions, participants learn how to use freely available GIS software to assess site constraints, such as flood risk, ecological considerations, and access issues. By working together to apply these skills, team members can build a shared understanding of how to use GIS effectively to identify opportunities and challenges.
• Developing Targeted Land Acquisition Strategies: A successful land acquisition strategy must be tailored to the unique needs of your organisation. In our group sessions, participants learn how to develop bespoke acquisition strategies that align with their business goals. Working through real-world scenarios, team members gain hands-on experience in creating strategies that maximise return on investment and minimise abortive costs.

One-to-One Sessions: Personalised Learning for Individual Growth

For those looking for a more tailored learning experience, Bartons offers one-to-one Live Online Sessions. These personalised sessions provide participants with the opportunity to focus on specific areas of interest or challenge, working directly with an expert trainer to deepen their understanding and refine their skills.

One-to-one sessions are ideal for:

• Addressing Specific Learning Needs: Every individual has unique strengths and areas for improvement. One-to-one sessions allow participants to focus on the areas where they need the most support, whether that involves understanding a particular aspect of the planning framework, refining their negotiation skills, or developing a more effective land acquisition strategy.
• Real-Time Feedback and Guidance: One of the key benefits of live, personalised training is the ability to receive immediate feedback. Participants can work through complex scenarios, ask questions, and receive tailored guidance from an expert trainer, ensuring that they leave each session with a clear understanding of how to apply what they have learned.
• Flexible Scheduling: Our one-to-one sessions are designed to fit around your schedule, ensuring that you can learn at a time that suits you. Whether you are a busy professional looking to build on your existing knowledge or a newcomer to the industry in need of foundational training, our one-to-one sessions provide the flexibility and support needed to succeed.

Our Live Online Sessions cover key areas such as:

With the guidance of an expert trainer, participants can gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate these complex processes and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
• Identifying and Assessing Potential Development Sites: Assessing the viability of a potential development site involves understanding a range of factors, from location and infrastructure to planning constraints and market demand. In our live sessions, participants learn how to apply these assessment techniques hands-on, using real-world examples to develop their skills and build confidence in their ability to identify high-potential sites.
• Effective Land Prospecting and Negotiation Techniques: Identifying off-market opportunities and negotiating favourable terms are essential skills for any land acquisition professional. Our live sessions provide participants with the opportunity to practice these skills in a supportive environment, receiving real-time feedback and guidance from an expert trainer. By working through practical exercises and role-playing scenarios, participants can refine their prospecting and negotiation techniques, ensuring that they are well-prepared to secure the best possible outcomes.
