We have added four new courses to our E-learning selection, to add to the 36 courses we already have available.
E-learning is a great way to learn at a time that is convenient to you, and at a pace that suits you, for people who are unable to attend webinars or in-person courses, or for subjects which might not be covered by webinars. Our e-learning is provided on the Nimble platform, in partnership with the South West Local Councils Association. We are delighted to have such a range of learning available for the councillors and staff of our member councils, to help keep you up to date on a range of topics.
We have some local council specific courses, including an Introduction to Local Councils, and a course on Standards in Public Life (looking at the Code of Conduct) as well as some courses created by Breakthrough Communications for the Civility and Respect Project:
There are also a huge range of courses looking at personal development, information law, cyber security, health and safety, environmental awareness and loads more. Costs start from £10 +VAT.

Developed by industry training specialists, Espirita, this Prevent Awareness course covers relevant legislation, an understanding of what radicalisation means, the relationship between extremism and terrorism, how to spot warning signs and where to obtain support for those in danger of becoming radicalised.
