    This event is being organised by Fife Voluntary Action
    Costs
    This event is free to attend but to encourage attendance and try and ensure a good turnout to benefit all delegates, we will charge a non-attendance fee of £25.00 per delegate. By submitting a booking for this event you agree to pay this fee for those delegates who have places booked but do not attend.

    Cancellations can be received up to 5 working days ahead of the event, thus avoiding non-attendance fees. A cancellation will only be valid if we have confirmed it with you. You can send somebody else in place of a booked delegate without incurring a non-attendance fee.


    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    We asked people who attended these sessions earlier in the year, what they liked most about our training - here are some of their comments:

    • "Informal and relaxed"
    • "Enjoyed the complete session, in particular the sharing of other candidates experiences around the subject"  
    • "Trainer was very open, friendly and knowledgeable"
    • "Good to meet other people and increase my knowledge"
    • "Informal, chance to share thoughts/ideas, the trainer made herself available should anyone need to discuss something they have a question/concern about".
    • "Good interaction with others, small training session so lots of time for questions/discussions"
    • "The pace was really good, not too fast or too slow."

    Course Content
