Training Calendar                  

• Free bespoke training for your group – at the level, venue and time that suits you!
  We will come to your group and deliver a training event free of charge on a topic that suits you. We can host 12 of these events throughout the year. Once the group has requested the training and a date arranged we will open up the course to others to ensure all groups get a chance to attend. See below for courses you can book on now.

• Basic Child Protection Awareness Training, 25 February 2008 10am - 1pm

Training programme review
We are currently reviewing our Training Programme and will be launching this in January 2008. But don't despair if you have training needs we still want to hear from you and if there is a hot topic that you'd like training on then we can put on a free course for your group! Get in touch and tell us your training needs by email Dawn or call 0161 3394985.

T3SC training is fun and informal, it's a fantastic opportunity to pick up some great tips, meet other groups and of course there is food and refreshments provided. We are happy to arrange for childcare or translation - so please let us know when you book. Training is free to voluntary and community organisations. However If you are from a statutory organisation then we will ask you to pay a small charge of £50 per full day and £20 for a learning lunch session. Unless otherwise noted courses are held in our training suite at T3SC. To book a place or find out more about the courses  email dawn.acton@t3sc.org. or call  0161 339 4985

If you need any support to attend a meeting such as transport, translation or carers costs please let us know and we will do our best to enable you to come along. More details on all the above from T3SC
