Creative Training Network Ltd was established in 2001 out of a wider consultancy group, Creative Connections Network Ltd, (est 1991). The company was formed by two directors of CCN to specialise in education and training management, delivery, brokerage and related consultancy. Prior to, and since being established Creative Training Network has developed an extensive network of alliances with other consultant individuals and companies. A number of these are contracted by CTN to provide training and mentoring support to community organisations through the MSD contracts.
With direct input and management from the directors CTN has managed to remain a small efficient company with the resources and ability to manage national contracts. This is achieved through contracting specialist trainers, mentors and consultants appropriately as required. Supported by an simple yet effective internet based information and registration system we have managed workshops in most towns and cities in New Zealand.
