Training and development


We want to make Decision Tech a place where amazing staff want to come and work; where their talents are honed, new skills are developed, and where knowledge is shared with others in the company.

We are very proud and fiercely protective of our culture and we look to our teams to enhance our culture; not simply maintain it. We have a philosophy of ‘coaching in the moment’ which helps our employees with their self-awareness and empowerment.

So, we go to great lengths to make the decision to join our team a no-brainer when it comes to the question of professional development.

We offer an extensive range of opportunities for training, coaching and self-development – both professionally and personally – to help staff progress in their careers in the long term, and keep things interesting for a very ambitious, talented group of people.
