How to buy a training course or get a quote

CAN training courses are delivered for £500 per day plus VAT. When delivery is in the South West, South East, London or East of England regions, that is all we charge. When delivery is outside of those regions, we may charge the cost of public transport, and possibly accommodation. We only charge for time spent delivering the training (and delivering additional support to trainees if that is part of the programme); we do not charge for travel time and there are no hidden extra charges.

A training course can be purchased for delivery to members or clients of one organisation or to a consortium or network of several organisations sharing the costs. The price is the same.

Select the course you are interested in and please get in touch using the Contact Page or telephone CAN at local rate: 0845 3733616.
