GRANTfinder One-Day Training Course

Wednesday 24 February 2010

Location: Enterprise House, Worksop

Trainee participation features heavily in our one-day training courses, both as part of group work and working individually on tailored case studies.  Our courses cover every element of using the GRANTfinder database: from running a search to identify funding for a particular project, to using the database for background grants and policy research.

Held in the informal setting of the GRANTfinder Training Room at Enterprise House, trainees have the opportunity to meet other people who work in the funding environment, and can therefore share and exchange best practice and experiences.

Fee

The course fee is £145 + VAT per person, which includes lunch and light refreshments during the day and covers the costs of course material.

To reserve a place on the course, the booking form should be completed and returned by Wednesday 17 February.
