If you manage funding, data and/or contracts at an ESFA funded prime provider or subcontractor then this is one of those 'not to be missed' annual training days. See delegate feedback from last year here
> Marion Gibbon, Data Quality & Compliance Manager at North Herts College said: "Excellent, as per normal lots of information given in a short amount of time."
> Kevin Thompson Strategic, Commissioning Manager at South Tyneside Council said: "Very informative event with insightful speakers."
> Laura Lewis-Davies Apprenticeship & Training Programmes Manager at the V&A said: "The event was incredibly useful. The facilitators were clearly experts in their respective fields and delivered the content with no-nonsense clarity - a refreshing approach to policy!"
> Maureen Evans-Olsen, Apprenticeship Strategy Development at TJMorris Limited said: "It was a great event which delivered 'what it said on the tin' the information was factual and straightforward delivered in a style which was accessible and unambiguous."
This training day will cover best practice subcontracting for the funding of 16-19 Study Programmes, Adult Education Budget and Apprenticeships. It's simply a brilliant opportunity to hear the latest funding, legal, quality and audit advice, along with invaluable materials to take away.
