The Cambridge Union is one of the oldest debating societies in the world and, like its Oxford counterpart, it gets a mention on the Time to Market blog as a benchmark for what confident, compelling public speaking looks like. Cambridge has always taken the art of the argument seriously — and if you're based in or around the city, you can work on your own presentation skills without travelling far.
We have three training venues available in Cambridge, which gives us more flexibility here than almost anywhere else in our network, beyond London.
Who Trains Here?
Our Cambridge venues draw clients from businesses across the region, but one thing we've noticed in recent years is that the trainees themselves often travel from considerably further afield — Peterborough, Northampton and Norwich are all familiar starting points for a Cambridge training day. That reflects the way working patterns have changed: with more people spending part of the week at home, a training day in Cambridge can make more geographic sense than heading into London, even for those who live a fair distance away.
If you or your team are based anywhere between Norwich to the east, Peterborough to the north or Northampton to the west, Cambridge is worth considering as a training base.
The Venues
Cambourne
Cambourne Business Park, west Cambridge is our most popular site. Cambourne sits just off the A428, around eight miles west of the city centre, with straightforward access from the M11 and good parking. It's the go-to choice for clients driving in from the west or south, and for anyone who'd rather avoid city centre traffic.
Vision Park
Vision Business Park, north Cambridge offers an equally accessible out-of-town option, well placed for clients coming in from Ely, Peterborough or the north. Like Cambourne, it has parking and all the facilities needed for a productive training day — proper training rooms, audio-visual support and wireless internet.
City Centre
City centre is our third option, for those who prefer to be in the heart of Cambridge. It's best reached by public transport — the city centre is well served by buses and is a short walk from Cambridge railway station. Bear in mind that city centre parking is limited, so we'd generally steer drivers towards one of the out-of-town sites.
