Dear Members

We have been informed by sector colleagues of yet another predatory course being offered. Please be aware of ongoing Training scams. A number of our members -over the recent years - have fallen victim and lost funds and valuable time registering and arriving at Courses only to find that there was no-one on site/ nor any actual booking made for the course at the venue.

Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure of a training provider and we can, through the Networks, validate the courses and suppliers for you.
