Technical Skills Courses/Seminars

Welcome to the new range of Technical Skills Courses. This is a new initiative and the courses listed below represent just the start of the range's development. The information is by no means complete and we anticipate that the content will increase in both breadth and depth over time.

We have funding/arrangements in hand to progress further development over the coming months but we would certainly welcome comments and suggestions for additional courses. So if you are aware of any courses, or indeed are a course organiser and would like to add your course to our listing please contact us - Suggest/Offer a New Course

The list of courses that you will find are available from a variety of providers. Whilst dates have yet to be arranged (and in some cases further course detail has to be clarified), we are accepting provisional booking/enquiries for the courses listed below and you can submit any such expression of interest when viewing the course detail. Please select the course for which you need additional information or on which you wish to register an interest by clicking on the relevant course title below. If there is a technical skill for which you would like to undertake training but for which there is no course listed below then we will try and source this training - Request an Additional Course
