Self-led learning

The core of our content compiled into neat self-led courses for you to complete at your pace.

Self-led yet fully supported

We’ve combined the key learning material from our live courses with our intuitive learning platform so you can gain the skills you need, when you need them.

Our on-demand courses offer convenience and flexibility, with videos, exercises and ways to deepen your knowledge. You’ll learn new skills when and where it works for you.

This option is for you if you prefer budget-friendly and no-fuss professional development learning.

So whether you're a seasoned councillor or just starting out, you will learn something new to complement your existing knowledge.
