About Alumno Consulting

Let’s be honest. Most corporate training is terrible.

Not “could be improved” terrible. Proper terrible.

Endless slides. Robotic delivery. Zero energy. Half the room secretly checking emails while someone at the front reads bullet points that could have been sent in a PDF. By lunchtime, people are wondering whether a fake desk issue is a legitimate escape strategy.

And yet somehow, we.ve all just accepted this as normal.

We have not.

At Alumno Consulting, we deliver financial services training that people actually enjoy, remember, and use. Whether we are running analyst programmes, AI workshops, leadership sessions, or board-level consulting, our focus is simple: make learning stick.

Because here is the uncomfortable truth: most corporate training changes absolutely nothing. Research consistently shows that the majority of employees apply little, if any, of what they learn. Companies spend fortunes on “learning initiatives” only for delegates to forget most of it before they even reach the lift.

That is why our sessions are different. High energy. Highly interactive. Commercially relevant. Full of discussion, challenge, humour, practical application, and the kind of real-world insight that makes people sit forward instead of mentally planning dinner.

We do not just transfer information. We create moments people remember weeks, months, and years later.

Look at our reviews. Book a 30-minute Zoom call. Worst case, you get a more entertaining conversation than your average training session

Rob was engaging, interactive and easy to talk to. His sessions provided an open space to ask questions and learn. He ensured we got to meet all the grads on the programme and promoted a collaborative environment, to which we have all made great friendships and connections! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trainer
