Spotlight on BTEC Workskills and Personal Growth and Wellbeing Training
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the Pearson BTEC Workskills and Personal Growth and Wellbeing in person training event scheduled for the 19 June 10am-3pm at Peterborough College has now been moved to an online only event.
The online event will be still on the 19 June but a reduced time of 10am-12pm.
There is still time to sign up to this free online event. Lead by our wonderful SSV Paul Cliff, this will support you in moving your provision forwards or even starting from scratch.
