22 Mar 12 - Bramhope Leader Training Courses

posted 22 Mar 2012 11:13 by Nick Fox

Just a quick update on courses run at Bramhope for Adult Training Scheme have been tweaked to not included validation on all of them.  (There some modules, where it will be possible to validate, if Delegate does pre course work and brings requested supporting paperwork – they will be advised in good time what is required by County).

Any delegate who attends a course and has validation to do after the course , will work with their TA to complete anything outstanding their Woodbadge.

Hope this makes sense, but you know where I am if needed.
