Training info 2011/12
LCiL's training programme usually includes a range of courses which give information about Independent Living and Direct Payments, encourage personal development and confidence building, and support disabled employers to develop relevant practical skills.
Whilst we are still not able to run a full Learning Opportunities Programme, we have secured funding, thanks to the Agnes Hunter Trust, to run a series of Confidence Skills course, including Dealing with Niceness so watch this space!
