Equinox Advisory is a one stop shop for professional advisory services. We bring most of the professional services that businesses and governments might need to outsource under the convenience of one roof.
Today’s progressively complex business and policy environments, together with the increasingly specialised professional services available, call for solution providers not to cut corners or oversimplify, but to address the situation in its entirety with a clear focus, with resolve and without fearing complexity.
Equinox fully understands this, and in seeking to promote its clients’ best interests, aims to deal with the complexities arising out of today’s business and policy environments on behalf of its clients by invariably deploying highly-skilled and experienced consultants, and by leveraging the resources it has put together to create a one stop shop to dedicate multiple specialisations to the formulation of a solution whenever this is called for and makes sense.
ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEED US
About Equinox Advisory

We are a team of specialists passionate about our work and with a common ambition to share learning experiences with people in the business community as well as with civil servants and civil society.
About Equinox ACADEMY
Our training and educational services take a holistic view. We usually (when budget is available) start from a thorough training needs analysis that looks at desired organisational performance and the skills required to achieve it. We also assist organisations in the application for funding of training courses from sources available at that point in time. Our training is targeted, interactive and relevant. It focuses on the behaviours necessary for the achievement of business objectives. We aim, wherever possible, to deliver measurable performance improvement, and support our work with deep knowledge of measurement and evaluation of learning. Our ability to combine training and subject matter expertise across systems and processes allows us focus on improving operational performance. Therefore, our solutions often go beyond ‘training’. We understand that performance is influenced by a combination of factors, and we seek to influence them as broadly as possible. Most of our solutions represent a blended approach to learning, reflecting our belief that only the right mix of media, tailored to the audience, will result in behavioural change that can bring about performance improvement. All of our trainers are qualified, experienced professionals in their field. Most of them lecture at Universities locally and abroad. They are also regularly invited to deliver speeches in conferences and seminars both on a national and international level.
Equinox Academy is licensed as a Higher Education Institution by the National Commission for Further and Higher Education (NCFHE) in Malta.

Tailor-made on-demand courses are designed to be perfectly aligned with your needs. They allow you to choose the learning experience that is right for you. Courses can be tailored to accommodate your schedule, group size, location and specific goals.
Tailor-MadeCourses
In today’s challenging business environment, an organisation excels only when it is able to take advantage of a well-trained staff complement with up-to-date skills and knowledge. Estimates from the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training show that a 1 per cent increase in training days leads to a 3 per cent increase in productivity. Equinox Academy offers you the opportunity to maximise the impact and minimise the inconvenience with our tailor-made on-demand courses.
Our tailor-made on-demand courses are approached from a problem-solving orientation, where the focus lies on you: your objectives and your activities. They provide an unparalleled degree of flexibility in the schedule and location of the course. Many elect to have the training at their premises to save on delegate travel, time and accommodation.
Equinox Academy’s trainers are active and experienced practitioners in their respective fields and we are able to mix and adapt the subjects and their respective trainers to fit your requirements. Most of our trainers come from the consulting industry and have vast practical knowledge about the areas they teach. By choosing our bespoke courses, not only will your employees be gaining valuable knowledge and skills, they will also be advised on their specific issues by our experienced consultants through facilitated discussions, and they will be encouraged to exchange ideas relevant to your specific situation.
Any of the subject matters taught in the various courses at the Equinox Academy can be combined into a single course and can be tailored to your requirements.
A tailor-made on-demand course can be more than an independent course. Equinox can build in a follow-up programme, allowing the delegates to implement the knowledge and skills gained before returning to the course and continuing their training.

The Work Psychology course was indeed a very interesting course which helped me develop practical skills and knowledge in this field. Through a broad range of topics we were given a thorough insight on various topics aiming on how to resolve conflicts and difficult situations which we may encounter at the place of work. The lectures were interactive always stimulating a healthy discussion between participants. The expertise and support of the tutors made this course enjoyable and easy to follow. The assignments were very interesting as these were based on what we had learnt during the relative sessions. I would definitely recommend this course. Looking forward to attend another Equinox training programme.
I would like to honestly thank Equinox Academy for their quality training. It was such a pleasure to learn from you, to practice and to train how to negotiate. These 4 days were very interesting and rewarding. It’s rare to enjoy training that much.

Given that I didn’t have previous experience with Maltese legislation and local ways of doing things, it was important, for all the subjects to be explained clearly, taking into consideration the local peculiarities. This enabled me to renew my knowledge on some topics as well. This training helped me to understand how things work in Malta and what I need as an HR manager in the company. But what this training also helped me to do is to look back and re-evaluate my previous experience and understand where I need additional training or reading. I would like to thank both of our trainers Ian and Romina for giving such a great training! I enjoyed this course and time just flew by,

Megaliths, prehistoric temples, fortified ports and cities, medieval dungeons and Calypso’s Cave – The Maltese Islands are positively mythic and enthrallingly
magical. The narrow meandering streets of the typical towns and villages lead to the main square, which is invariably dominated
by the huge baroque church. As the countryside is dotted with medieval towers, wayside chapels and the oldest known
human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum. Alongside these ancient structures, Malta also caters for the modern lifestyle and a respectable leisure environment through its more urban zones and its highly-sought beaches.
The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km north of
Libya. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of over 419,000 inhabitants
occupying an area of 316 square kilometres.
Malta is the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture. Comino, the smallest of the three, with one hotel, yet boasts of one of the most beautiful blue lagoons in the Mediterranean.
With superbly sunny weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and over 10,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do.

Malta is easily accessible and is at most 3 hours away from major airports around Europe. Malta’s national airline is Airmalta (www.airmalta.com) although many other airlines including low-cost carriers Ryanair and EasyJet have flights scheduled to Malta.
