CONSORTIUM FREE TRAINING PROGRAMME 2018/2019
You can book yourselves, colleagues or clients on to our FREE courses through the website at
www.nwlegalconsortium.com
With this latest programme we have aligned all course start times as 10am to avoid confusion and
assist all delegates in making their travel arrangements.
Please note that 10am is the actual start of the training session.
Coming up you’ve got:
GDPR Update on 3rd April, presented by Hill Dickinson at their Liverpool office.
Planning Update on 10th April presented by Weightmans at their Liverpool office and,
Employment Law Update on 1st May, presented by DAC Beachcroft at their Manchester office.
More detail can be found on the website courses page at www.nwlegalconsortium.com/courses
Don’t forget that all this training is free and is open to legal staff at member organisations as well
as to client department staff.
And finally a request….
Booked on to a training course but now find that you can’t make it?
If this happens to you…..and it might and it does, please try to let us know as soon as you can.
Recent training sessions have had a significant number of delegates not attending and this can make
things difficult for presenters and other delegates. If you can cancel your place please do so with as much notice as possible.
There is a facility to manage your bookings on the website – just click on ‘Book a Course’ and you will see
‘Manage your Bookings’. Then just highlight the booking you want to manage and you have a choice to edit
or cancel that booking.
Or call or email Beryl to let us know not to expect you. It really does help us to manage the training better
and shows respect for the trainers and other colleagues.
Many thanks.
