Training for Engaging Communities and Working Together

All our Tutors have extensive training and practitioner experience in public engagement and we will match you to the training associate we think is right for you and your organisation, while taking into account location and availability. 

For online sessions hosted on Zoom: 

• The event may be recorded for training development purposes
• Presenters will be using a live camera and audio and will show slides
• Delegates will also be expected to share their camera and contribute to discussions
• Some of the interactions will take place using a chat function or a digital whiteboard such as Padlet where people can type their responses
• Delegates with specific needs are welcome to bring a personal assistant
• We ensure that there is at least one scheduled 10-minute comfort/screen break in every session
• The training materials we share are optimised for screen-reading software
• We encourage participants to let us know in advance of any access requirements to allow us to make reasonable adjustments 

For in-person sessions hosted on location at your organisation:

• We recommend that there is a quiet space available for delegates to access throughout the event and that any other necessary steps are taken to ensure inclusion for participants
• Training sessions will take place both in plenary and in small discussion groups
• Delegates will have the option to take some time for reflection instead of joining small group discussions if they prefer
• We ensure that there is at least one scheduled 10-minute comfort break during the session 

• Training sessions costs £1600. However, for in-person training, in addition to the cost of the course delivery, we will quote you for trainer travel, as well as travel time and accommodation where necessary. You will be sent a quote within 5 working days based on the training associates we have available and the information you provide in your booking form
• Invoicing: we do charge a £100 surcharge for processing invoices to contribute towards the costs of the additional administration required. Please ensure you provide accurate invoicing information so that we can set up your organisation as a customer and issue an invoice without delay
• If you choose to pay by card or PayPal, the payment link will be sent via email in your booking reservation confirmation
• Please check with the card holder whether there is any payment limit which restricts the amount you can spend at any one time. We have a payment option which will allow you to pay over multiple transactions

Please ensure you know the following information: 

• The date range during which you’d like training to be delivered and any dates which aren’t possible
• How many people you are expecting to attend (please note, the minimum number of attendees is 10 per course)
• How will you be paying for the course fees? If you are paying by invoice, please be aware that invoicing incurs a £100 admin surcharge. We will need accurate invoicing information (inc. contact name, address, phone number and email). If paying by card, find out whether your purchasing card has a payment limit (please check with the person who is able to make payment)
• For in-person delivery, the address where the training will be held (you can arrange a space for delivery once payment is complete and the date has been confirmed)
