Training

fit4funding trainers deliver OCN-accredited courses for funding advisors at two different levels to meet the needs of new advisors and those who need to explore key funding topics, such as commissioning, in greater depth. Opportunities are circulated through the FAN network, as the training is aimed at workers who give funding advice as part of their role.
