Training services

As an organisation we take very seriously our role as a provider of quality staff training and development.

Wider Picture programme
Our presenters realise that teachers often require information from a variety of standpoints. For example, new personal and subject tutors may have little prior knowledge of reference writing and UCAS procedures; in marked contrast, experienced tutors will be seeking an authoritative update to supplement their existing knowledge of the subject. Our consultancy services can meet all these needs.

Apply training
UCAS Apply training is delivered by trainers at approved centres throughout the year, or can be delivered at your school or college as a bespoke session. Learning through hands-on experience has proved very popular, but if you prefer to have only a demonstration, this is also possible.
