High Peak CVS Training Programme Courses for the Voluntary Sector Our wide ranging programme of training, open to voluntary and community groups everywhere, has built a reputation for being of high quality. All of the sessions are delivered by qualified tutors who understand the needs of the voluntary sector locally. Our current programme gives an idea of what we offer.

Charges
The charge for each session is shown below its description. From April 2006, we have removed the charge for groups without paid workers that are based in the High Peak, to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation. Remember, if applying for grant funding, training costs can be included as a legitimate expense.

Booking & confirmation
To book a place, simply complete the form on the back of the brochure or book online. Course instructions, including directions, will be sent a couple of weeks before the course date. But please be aware that if the course is full at the time of your booking then you will be notified as soon as possible.

Cancellation
We are keen to run as many courses as possible and will often run them at a low minimum number. Disappointingly, however, there is an increasing trend of people not turning up for training sessions they have booked onto. The result of this is that courses are running at a level that makes it very difficult for trainers to carry out activities they have planned, as well as sessions becoming very expensive.

We understand that there are occasions when notice cannot be given in advance but when possible we would be very grateful if you could contact us as soon as possible. There is a cancellation fee if delegates book and then don't turn up and haven't let us know with at least 24 hours notice. This fee, which will be invoiced, is £10. We don't currently have any grant funding for any of our main training programmes, and so anything you can do to help us reduce unnecessary cost would be appreciated.
