Too many words? We’ve got you! You can listen or scroll to the bottom of the page for the nitty gritty!
Let’s be honest. Many training courses aren’t built for most people.
They’re built for people who can sit in a classroom for six hours without their brain staging a full revolt. People who don’t need to pause, rewind, or process things seventeen times before they stick. People who don’t have a toddler napping in the next room, a chronic illness that makes travelling a military operation, or an anxiety that makes walking into a room full of strangers feel like an extreme sport.
The rest of us? We’ve been quietly told, sometimes directly, sometimes just by the way everything is set up, that training isn’t really for us.
We disagree. LOUDLY.
Done Different is being built for people who want to learn, who are desperate to learn, but just can’t do it the traditional way. And we mean that without any judgment, because ‘the traditional way’ genuinely doesn’t work for a lot of people, and it has absolutely nothing to do with how intelligent, capable or determined they are.
We’re here for you if:
- You’re neurodivergent (diagnosed or not).
- You’ve always suspected your brain works differently, even if nobody ever gave it a name.
- Anxiety makes classrooms feel impossible.
- You live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest training centre is an hour and a half away.
- You’re a carer and you can’t just disappear for six Saturdays in a row.
- You work shifts.
- You have a health condition that makes unpredictable schedules a nightmare.
- You’re a parent held together with coffee and good intentions.
We’re here for everyone who sat in a classroom at some point in their life and thought ‘I’m just not a learner’. The truth was, nobody was teaching in a way that worked for you.
How we work
Choose your pathway:
- Face to face in small groups.
- Blended Learning, self-paced theory, live Zoom guidance and assessment. Perfect if you’re confident and self-directed.
- Mentored Blended Learning, everything above, plus more live tutor contact throughout. Perfect if you want more support in your corner.
- Bolt-on sessions, need a bit of extra help at any point? Just add one. No shame, just flexibility.
- Human, real tutors, real support, real relationships. Not a faceless platform and a PDF.
- Properly accredited, more info coming soon.
(Not all courses will offer all of the options, see each individual course details as they launch.)
The gap we’re filling
There are plenty of cheap, fully online therapy courses out there, no tutor contact, no real assessment, a certificate that many insurers won’t touch. We’re not that.
There are plenty of traditional in-person courses, great if that works for you, genuinely not an option if it doesn’t.
And there’s almost nothing in the middle that’s doing it properly.
That’s the gap. That’s us.
Proper training. Proper accreditation. Proper human support. Done Different.
A word from Karen
I built this because I am you.
I have ADHD. I’ve spent most of my life feeling like I wasn’t quite built for the way things are supposed to work, in education, in business, in learning. I’ve had to figure out my own systems, my own ways of doing things, my own pace.
And then I became a trainer, and I realised how many of my students felt exactly the same. Brilliant, motivated people who just needed things done a bit differently to thrive.
I’m also a qualified therapist, a coach, and someone who has spent years working with people and understanding what they need, not from a textbook, but from life.
Done Different Training is the learning platform I didn’t know I needed.
We’re here. And we’re absolutely here for you.
Karen Trim, Founder of Done Different
P.S. Yes, we know “Done Different” is grammatically incorrect. We’re rebels. It’s a vibe. What can we say.
The Nitty Gritty
- Most training is built for people who can sit still, read lots, and follow a rigid timetable. If that’s not you, you’ve probably been told the problem is you. It isn’t.
- Done Different is built for neurodivergent people, carers, shift workers, and anyone who’s ever felt like “not a learner.”
- Choose your pathway: face to face, blended, mentored blended, or bolt-on sessions, whatever fits your life.
- We sit in the gap between cheap online-only courses and rigid in-person ones: proper training, proper accreditation, proper human support.
- Founder Karen has ADHD and built this because the traditional way never worked for her either.
