Events & Conferences
As part of the School Financial Support package we offer termly School Business Manager/Bursar Training events.
All our training events are delivered by experienced, knowledgeable trainers. The contents are highly practical but also include current issues and developments in schools’ finance.
Our sessions are lively and interactive and very informative and last approximately 2 hours. They also provide an ideal opportunity for delegates to ask questions and learn from each other’s experiences.
