Job-Specific Training That Works

The ARETE approach is consistently praised for its positive and empowering impact on both work and personal life. ARETE has trained tens of thousands of medium to high risk employees from every industry sector. We fully understand the kinds of situations staff may be exposed to during the course of their work and know a 'one size fits all' approach isn't what employees need to stay safe on the job.

What Makes Us an Industry Leader

  • Quality Guaranteed

    All curriculum is backed by ARETE's thirty years of experience as an industry leader in violence prevention and conflict management.

  • Realistic and Applicable

    Our curriculum is designed to create a shift in how participants view and respond to conflict and violence. It's not about controlling people, but learning to manage their behaviours.

  • Engaging Content

    We strongly believe that when people are laughing, they're learning. We keep content engaging, interesting, and relevant to participants' needs.

Our Philosophy

We believe that when given the appropriate knowledge and skills, we are all capable of making informed, effective, and safe choices when facing conflict and violence. As part of that approach, our curriculum is designed to create a shift in how participants view and respond to conflict and violence. ARETE’s no-nonsense, straightforward approach ensures conflict is dealt with effectively and early on.
