Education and training

At the moment, we do not have a preferred provider list of training organisations that may be useful in your search for quality training at realistic prices.

We are planning to discuss with other partnerships what has worked for them. You can view the TOPSS resource directory list in the attachments below.

You can also download a training needs analysis form which you may find useful in identifying areas of need within your organisation
