Can’t find a course location or date that works for you? We can bring our courses to your school – which perfect for inset days, or days that staff can be released.

Because your school would be providing the space, we in return offer 10% off per delegate. Taking the cost from £170 to £153 per delegate – making it more cost effective.

For our CPD Workshop, we require space in which to practise demonstrations, so the space you provide for our training would need to facilitate this necessity whilst taking into consideration how many staff you and (perhaps) your partner schools are putting forward for the CPD Workshop.
