Introduction
This section provides links to training providers. The majority are based in the Humber region, but there are a few other useful links including some online free training. Instead of paying for a training course, why not allow staff a couple of hours of self directed traing every week?
This site focuses on IT training. For a voluntary sector perspective on training look at Humberside Learning Consortium.
Virtual Riders makes no judgement to the value of training offered. Only some commercial providers have been listed. To be listed here contact us.
