Monday 13th to Sunday 19th May 2019

It’s Learning at Work Week in May.

Learning at Work Week is an annual celebration of the importance and benefits of learning and development in work.

This year’s theme is ‘Shaping the future’, but for Advice Skills Academy we’re calling it ‘Shaping your future’ as we encourage people to think about what learning and development will help you shape your future, as well as taking time to do some short learning during the week.

Advice Skills Training

We are currently arranging NEW training to be delivered June/July in: 

  • Deaf and Disability Awareness 
  • Gambling Awareness

As soon as we’ve got dates for these, we’ll email you all to let you know.

Accredited Training Update


Delivery of our accredited training is ongoing during May to June – places are now fully booked for these sessions.
