Monthly Training Update - August 2024

As things quieten down for the summer break we have decided to offer our 10 most popular courses in August.

From September onwards we will be offering our full suite of training sessions on a bi-monthly basis. If we find a course is hugely popular we will of course move it back to monthly.

Here is some of the feedback that we have received recently:

• "Very useful refresh and enabled us to see it from a Council perspective (different from my previous Central Government experience)"

• "Lots of great information clearly presented throughout & time for Q&A at the end."

• "The interactivity of the session. This kept me engaged and stopped my attention wandering (which is a common issue for me in online training). There were also a good number of external resources linked to both by the trainer and other attendees, which gives me more to explore post-session."

• "Gave me the confidence and tools to get started (I haven't chaired before). I can reread slides which are nice and clear. Liked the mix of experience in the participants."

Here's a preview as to what is coming up in August:
