Classroom courses
Traditional classroom-based courses delivered in venues across England and Wales by our expert trainers. Course slides are provided electronically via your Training and Events Dashboard 7 days prior to the course taking place. It is not essential to print these off unless you prefer to have a paper copy to refer to on the day.
