These are carried out on Zoom - allowing you to attend from the comfort of your office.
 
On occasions we can also conduct a virtual CPD webinar specifically for your business, depending on the number of attendees. You can request these at a time and date convenient to you by getting in touch with Peter Cox. We can discuss your requirements and tailor training for your specific needs.

Should your office or business require an in-depth face to face presentation, we are happy to deliver single CPD seminars or training uniquely tailored to suit you or your team’s specific needs, depending on the number of attendees.

We can also present a day of training on topics such as damp and mould to social housing providers and housing associations, providing specific interactive training based on the needs of customer facing teams.
