Could you host an ACPOHE course? Do you have any requests for courses? How can we support you and your colleagues? Do you have a course you think could be beneficial to the membership? Let us know and we will build courses or webinars for our members.
We are currently planning the delivery of our courses for 2023 and we are excited to return to offering some of our courses face to face. Following feedback from some of our previous courses, we are on the lookout for venues where we could host some of our courses around the UK. Do you have a suitable space to host 10-20 people?
