Training at Obsidian

Learn in a fun supportive environment

Obsidian training is all about keeping it real...stripped-back, hands-on, and built around actual industry standards, not fluffy shortcuts or TikTok hacks. With over six years of teaching experience, including government-funded and formally assessed courses, we’ve mastered the art of delivering training that actually means something.

As a qualified Internal Quality Assurer (IQA), quality control is basically our love language, every course is designed with intention, credibility, and results in mind. We offer private, accredited training on a 1-1 or small group basis, so you get focused, personalised education without the chaos.

No filler. No gatekeeping. Just solid skills, higher standards, and the kind of training that makes you stand out for all the right reasons.
