What is the cost of participating?

For ISBA members the price per person is £1,500 plus VAT and for non-members the price per person is £1,750 plus VAT.

How will participants be evaluated?

During the course, attendees will be asked to capture learning outcomes, identify new learnings/gaps in knowledge that have been filled and, reflect on what they can do differently moving forward.

At the end of the training course attendees will create an action plan of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives detailing what they will do differently back within their organisations. They will be encouraged to agree the action plans with their line-managers/wider team highlighting the value to their respective companies.
