If you’re not based in Sussex there’s absolutely no reason why you should miss out on our invaluable training and enjoy the Brighton vibe. We’ve got a great range of courses open to anyone working in the third and public sectors.
These courses are of the same excellent standard and run by our superb trainers that have built our reputation as the region’s leading specialist training organisation, and are held in a lovely community venue with a beautiful garden in the heart of the Brighton Laines – just two minutes walk from the beach.
All our courses start at a civilised 10am and finish at 4.30pm We’re only 50 minutes away from London Victoria which means you don’t have to leave home the day before. Most of our courses are on a Thursday or Friday, to coincide with the weekend to give you the opportunity to stay for a short break if you wished.
If you book 6 weeks in advance of the course we’ll book and buy your ticket from one of the main London stations and if you decide to attend a two-day course, we’ll even book and pay for your accommodation. If you aren't coming from a London station, we'll reduce the price by £20 towards the cost of your fare. It’s all included in the price as long as you’re an earlybird and even if you’re not, we’ll at least provide your lunch!
The price structure is straightforward and we hope you’ll find it appealing and affordable.
| Price Band | 1 Day | 2 Day |
| A = Under 15 paid staff voluntary and community organisation | 135 | 255 |
| B= Over 15 paid staff voluntary and community organisations | 165 | 295 |
| C = public and private sector organisations | 195 | 345 |
Travelling down to the sea-side will give you the opportunity to take a step back, concentrate on your learning, and give you the space to reflect and to plan. You can book easily online by clicking on the course you’re interested in and completing the form.
These courses provide a sample of the type of training we undertake, if you can't find what you want, ask us and we'll either design something for you or let you know if we have something coming up later in the year...
