High Voltage Training

3rd February to 23rd March 2010

HIGH VOLTAGE training is a new training session designed to help you and your staff get to grips with electricity tariffs, prices, meter reading, electricity related terms and jargon, and much more. All this information can really make a difference when helping to set up a tenancy, or improve a tenancy someone is already in. At a bargain £30 per delegate, including lunch, it’s hard to see how you miss the opportunity! Our sessions are being held on:

One training session remaining:

23rd March @ Perth.

“The sustaining tenancies training was immediately after lunch – usually the “yawning” slot – but there was no dozing off on that day! Everyone really enjoyed the presentation, exercises and games and went away completely enthused about the pack and how useful and user-friendly it is.” Myra Macdonald (Argyll and Bute Council)
