3rd Sector training

T3SC has joined Tameside Training Consortium

Tameside Training Consortium (TTC) is an Employer Led Partnership. T3SC has recently joined and has agreed that volunteers from community groups who are based within the Tameside area can access training available through the consortium. Many of the courses are additional to those offered by T3SC so we hope will be of interest to many groups. So if you’re a community group (i.e. a group which doesn’t employ any staff) and are looking for training for your volunteers whether it’s first aid training, health and safety or food hygiene for example, here is the latest training programme:

Tameside Training Consortium training programme April-June 2010

Introductory offer – T3SC is offering one free place to the first 30 community groups who book on a course provided by TCC. Other places vary in price but are usually £10 for a one day course.

If you would like to book on a course please contact Naomi at T3SC on 0161 339 4985 or email
