I’ve learned to break down some of our meatier courses into smaller components so they are more accessible. “The
training has also helped me immensely in my career. If it wasn’t for YFC, I wouldn’t be in my job at
all. “That these courses are now Institute of Training and Occupational Learning (ITOL) accredited shows we are offering training which results in a nationally recognised qualification, so we really are raising the bar, in improving the knowledge and skill base within the organisation.” |
