The Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Centre (EDIC) offers a range of training to educate and develop staff.

We have a standard programme of training than runs throughout the academic year, but we also sometimes put on special training sessions as part of wider events. Our training dates are released for the academic year at the start of October.

Please note that cancellations less than five working days prior to training date will still incur a charge - please read our full terms and conditions.
