About Our Training Courses
‘AWICS’ provides a wide range of training opportunities through regional seminars and in-house training sessions. Our trainers are selected not only for their professional qualifications, knowledge and experience, but also for their ability to explain complex and technical matter to a wide range of individuals. We are constantly expanding the range of training opportunities that we offer and the range of clients that we serve.
2017 Regional Seminar and Workshops
| In-house Courses and Customised Training
|
| Delivery: Our regional seminars are held in venues in Scotland, Wales, and the regions of England and address a range of topics of relevance to those with an interest in public services including local government and social housing. All our regional seminars are also available as in-house courses. | These in-house courses follow closely the format of the regional seminars and workshops but are tailored to the specific requirements of the client by using local data and emphasising matters of importance locally to the client. |
| Topics offered: The annually updated ‘All You Want to Know about…’ series is designed to provide an introduction and overview of key topics, such as Local Authority Housing Finance, Service Charges and Housing Association Finance. We provide separate versions for England, Scotland and Wales. | Our range of in-house courses is more extensive than our range of regional seminars. Our offer includes training opportunities in subject areas such as Local Government, Housing Finance, Housing Management, Management Skills, Management Issues, Performance Management and Personal Skills. |
Past attendees: Those who have attended our regional seminars include local councillors, chief executives, chief officers, housing managers, board members at housing associations and arms' length management organisation, tenant representatives, accountants, property surveyors, lawyers, journalists, police civilians, civil Servants, lecturers and students.
| Organisations for which we have held in-house courses include government departments, local authorities, housing associations and arms' length management organisations in England, Scotland and Wales.
