About Blakes' Training Institute
Practical learning. Higher standards. Stronger performance.
Founded in 2009, Blakes' Training Institute is a family-owned organisation specialising in corporate and professional training delivered face-to-face and virtually.
Our story
Built around the realities of work.
Blakes' Training Institute began by delivering accounting and consultancy services to small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly across western Jamaica. Through that work, the team identified gaps in how businesses approached operations and professional development and expanded into structured corporate training.
Today, the Institute delivers programmes tailored for Jamaican and international contexts, helping managers, supervisors, general staff and professionals strengthen the capabilities needed to support organisational objectives.
How our programmes work
Learn it. Apply it. Reflect. Improve.
Training is designed to move beyond the classroom so participants can practise new skills in their actual work environment.
Learn
Instructor-led modules combine teaching, discussion and practical activities. Face-to-face workshops typically run 6–7 hours per day.
Go & Do
Participants can be given workplace practice activities to apply what they learned under the direction of their immediate supervisor.
Review & Assess
Participants reconvene to share learning and complete assessments designed to confirm understanding and practical application.
Vision
Higher standards live together.
At Blakes’ Training Institute, growth, creativity, goals, innovation, success and high performance live in harmony.
Mission
High-quality corporate training.
At Blakes’ Training Institute, we aim to provide high-quality training for corporate clients, emphasising small and medium-sized enterprises. Our services are delivered through face-to-face and virtual instructor-led platforms.
