What is ELITE? 

ELITE is EKFB’s Engagement and Leadership Immersive Training Experience.  

Housed in its own purpose-built induction centre in Brackley, ELITE has been designed to give participants a lasting understanding of the values of EKFB and their responsibility for upholding them, through a one-day induction experience unlike any other. Its hard-hitting narrative and high production values are underpinned by industry leading, multi-media technology which combine to deliver a powerful immersive experience. Participants will come away with a full and lasting understanding of the values of the organisation, their part in delivering them and the practical communication tools to deliver our culture of Making the Right Choice.

What COVID restrictions are in place at ELITE? 

The ELITE Facility and how the programme will run has been fully assessed by an independent Covid Expert brought in by EKFB.  Our Sub-Contractor partners who run ELITE (ATT) will fully manage people’s movement and social distancing at every stage of the day.  Facilitators will guide delegates as to where they should stand and sit, and there will be no requirements to breach a social distance of 2m.  ATT run a number of similar facilities during the period of Covid and have experience in marshalling attendees safely.
