Talk to us about training your team
Tell us who needs training and what you want them able to do afterwards. We will come back to you inside one working day with a straight answer on cost, dates and whether we are the right people for the job. The first conversation is a scoping call, not a sales pitch.
Every enquiry is read by a trainer rather than a sales team, and we will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit for what you need.
Tell us what you need
Chris or a member of the training team replies personally, inside one working day.

What a session costs
Most teams want a number before they pick up the phone, so here it is. All prices exclude VAT, and the cost is the same whether we deliver at your offices, at our Leeds studio, or remotely.
Half day
Full day
Bespoke programme
What happens after you get in touch
No chasing, no drawn out sales process, and a written outline you can take to a budget holder.
You send the brief
A sentence or two is plenty at this stage, and we do not need a formal specification.
We book a 30 minute call
We ask what your team can already do, what the business needs them to do, and which platforms and tools actually matter to you.
You get a written outline
Session content, timings, the trainer, the cost and the available dates, all in one document.
We deliver, then follow up
Everyone leaves with slides, a workbook and an action plan, and we check in a month later to see what changed.
Who you will be dealing with
Chris Norton, founder and lead trainer
Chris founded Prohibition in 2009 and has been running social media and communications training ever since. He is a former in-house communications manager, and the host of Embracing Marketing Mistakes, which has reached number one in the UK marketing podcast chart. He has trained marketing and communications teams at Lloyds Pharmacy, Yorkshire Water, Transport for the North, Savills and Skipton Building Society.
Teams we have already trained
Public sector, financial services, retail and utilities, so we are used to sign off processes, procurement and regulated environments.
“What I really like about Prohibition is that they took the time to understand who we are.”
Rebecca WeeksSector Relationship Manager, Calderdale College
“Prohibition did an excellent job at taking a comprehensive look at our social media activity.”

The practical detail
Cost per head
A full day for six people works out at £300 each, and the rate per head falls as the group grows.
Travel and expenses
Travel within Yorkshire is included. Anywhere else in the UK we add travel at cost and agree it in writing before you commit.
Cancellation
Move or cancel free of charge up to 14 days before the session. Inside 14 days we charge half the fee.
Paperwork
Purchase orders welcome, supplier onboarding forms completed, and indemnity and liability certificates on request.
Questions we get asked before booking
How much does training cost?
A half day for up to six people is £1,200, and a full day is £1,800, both excluding VAT. Every attendee beyond six adds £250. Bespoke programmes running across several teams or several months are quoted after a scoping call.
Do you train in person or remotely?
Both, and the price is the same either way. We deliver at your offices, at our Leeds studio, or over video, and remote sessions are broken into shorter blocks because a full day on a screen helps nobody.
How many people can attend one session?
Six is the sweet spot and twelve is the practical ceiling for a hands-on workshop. Beyond twelve the session becomes a lecture rather than training, so for larger groups we usually run the same day twice.
How quickly can you run a session?
We can usually deliver within three to four weeks of the scoping call, and we have turned sessions around in a week when something urgent has landed. Tell us your deadline and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
Can you tailor the content to our sector and our tools?
Yes, and every session we run is built around the brief rather than pulled off a shelf. We will ask which platforms, tools and approval processes you actually use, and we build the exercises around your own content.
What do attendees get afterwards?
Everyone leaves with the slides, a workbook and a written action plan for their own role. We also check in a month later to see what has changed, because training that nobody applies is money wasted.
Can you invoice against a purchase order?
Yes. We are used to public sector and large corporate procurement, we can complete supplier onboarding forms, and we hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance with certificates available on request.
Do you cover AI tools as well as social media?
Yes, and it is now a part of most programmes we run. We cover practical AI use in marketing and communications, including where it goes wrong, and we run dedicated sessions on AI and misinformation.
