Auditing – Opening and closing meetings – How to do them professionally
No matter what type of audit you are involved in it is essential that it starts and finishes well. Opening and closing meetings offer the forum to do this.

Likewise, a well run closing meeting draws the audit to a close in a professional and controlled manner.

Travel difficulties – online learning may be the answer
With many organisations banning travel, or individuals simply making a personal choice not to travel, online learning can be a valuable way to keep building the skills and knowledge needed for your continued success.
Coronavirus – an update about our training course programme
Due to the uncertainties involved in travel at the moment, and especially the risk of local lockdowns, we will be delivering most of our courses using our proven ‘live online interactive’ technology.
