Commissioned training
Finding a solution to your training needs
Why commission training from us?
- If you have a training need that you need a solution to, we want to hear from you. We work directly with you to assess your organisation's objectives and identify a suitable trainer from our network of children's sector experts.
- Commissioned training packages make the most out of your professional development budget and are more cost effective than sending individual members of your organisation out on courses.
- Bespoke events allow you to learn together as a team whilst fitting around your internal schedule.
- We can deliver one-off training sessions or in-depth programmes tailored to your team. Training can be delivered in-person, online or as a combination to suit you.
- Joining us in membership can enhance your learning opportunities and help your budget go even further. Click here to read more about the benefits Children in Scotland membership can offer.
