We offer a regular training programme to support you and help you to develop your information skills so that you can find information efficiently and effectively.

All the sessions involve lots of hands-on practice and the trainers encourage you to bring your topic details along with you. You can find a list of the full programme on our website. Dates are available up to December.

Don’t worry if you can’t make the scheduled dates our trainers are happy to organise a convenient date for you to attend if needed. They can also deliver training at your workplace, whether for an individual, during a meeting or other training event.
