Our training programme combines courses run in partnership with County Associations of Local Councils with our own Breakthrough Masterclasses, so every council can find the learning that fits its priorities.
Whether you need broad foundational training delivered through your County Association, or focused deep-dives on specific challenges your council is facing, you'll find practical, relevant sessions led by experienced council communications and compliance specialists.
Every event is delivered live via Zoom, so you can ask questions and engage in real time. Each session is recorded, so the learning is there whenever you, your colleagues or your councillors need to revisit it.
Each booking includes:
- Access to the live event on Zoom with other councils
- A year's access to the event recording
- Downloadable resource packs and supporting materials
