Open Courses – a public sector service

Do you have a small number of staff spread across a wide range of geographical areas or just an individual retiring whose needs cannot be met by your internal pre retirement arrangements?

Because Affinity Connect runs hundreds of courses for the public sector throughout the UK each year we are able to coordinate spare places in many locations and make them available to staff from other public sector employers.

Confirmation of places however is subject to availability. For details of the agenda please see section for retirement services.

Because it may not be possible to identify spare places until closer to the event we only publish dates approximately 6 weeks in advance. We are also adding new courses daily, therefore if you cannot find a convenient date or location in the list below please contact Sarah Turner on 01275 461970 ext 1 or at STurner@affinityconnect.org.

We make no charge for this service although occasionally the course host will make a charge to cover catering and this will be detailed in the list below if applicable.
