UKCISA Training and FE International Network event

The UKCISA/AoC FE International Network meets yearly as a forum for staff involved in international activity in the college sector to meet and discuss issues of common interest. Events include presentations from relevant bodies such as the British Council, and practitioner-led discussions based on institutional case studies.

This year we have combined a morning training from UKCISA followed by the FE Network.  This will take place on Tuesday 13th October in London. The day will cost £75 per delegate and will follow the following schedule.
