Important notice:
Due to ongoing technical problems with EMS Online we have unfortunately had to make the decision to remove this facility with immediate effect. Capita have advised us that they are developing the online booking functionality but do not envisage that this will be up and running until Spring 2009. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
************************************************************************************************
Applications can be made either by completing our CPD course booking form online or by downloading the course application form attachment from this page which can be completed manually. If you choose to complete the online booking form, your bookings will automatically be submitted to the CPD Team and your school will receive confirmation in due course.
We would like to bring to your attention, the importance of booking onto our courses, as many schools turn up to a course without having reserved a place. Please can we ask that you take a few minutes to read through our advice on booking courses which is available to download from this page.
The course rates for the current financial year (with substantial discount for Shropshire/Telford & Wrekin LA subscribing schools) can be downloaded from this page. Competitive rates can be negotiated for non-maintained and out of county schools.
