Current training schedule
We ask for bookings to be made four to six weeks before the date a course is to run. There may well be places after that deadline, but occasionally we have to cancel a course for lack of numbers. It is distressing if several late enquiries are received that, had they been made earlier, would have ensured the viability of a now-cancelled course. So it is to everyone's benefit if places are booked in good time.
You can download the application forms for our courses as PDF files (each approximately 100 KB) – just click on the relevant course date below. If there is no date shown, the course is not scheduled to run. If a date is shown but there is no link to a booking form, then the course is fully booked. In either of these cases, please contact the SfEP Office to find out when the course will next run.
See Booking a course for information on how to proceed further.
