Bespoke Training

We can also provide tailor-made training sessions. We take time at the beginning to find out which areas you need us to cover and why. Then we talk through the different training options we can provide, making sure the support is right for your group or organisation. It maybe you need a full training session or just a helping hand to take the next step.

FAQs

  • Can you run training outside of VAO office hours?

    Yes, we try and run training when it suits you best and that includes evenings and weekends.

  • Can you only meet at the VAO offices, or can you come to me?

    Yes, we can come to you. The community development team is often out and about, meeting where it best suits you, including online.

  • Can you meet online?

    Yes, we frequently meet online. Generally we use Microsoft Teams for online meetings but you do not need Teams for that to work, as long as we send you the online invitation you will be able to click on the link on a phone or other device. We can also provide training online.

  • What is the best way to get in touch?

    Contact us using the form at the bottom of the page or give us a phone. We will talk through what you are looking to discuss and arrange a time to look at it in more detail if we cannot advice there and then.
