Bespoke Training – sessions to meet the specific needs of your school.
We offer a comprehensive programme of CPD training courses designed to keep bursars and members of the senior management team up-to-date with the key issues affecting independent schools.
Whilst many of our training courses are only available to member schools, we do run the 'So you want to be a bursar?' programme for non-members - ideal if you are considering a career as a bursar or are currently working as a senior member of the support staff within the independent school sector and looking to progress your career. The course offers an invaluable insight into this stimulating and challenging career.
