More information about each of these courses, and information about other courses that ContinYou runs, is available on the events calendar.
ContinYou is one of the UK's leading education charities. We believe that every child and young person must have an education that enables them to develop to their full potential.
Open training
The NRC can provide training anywhere in England. We have a programme of open training in some locations – see below - but we are happy to work with you to organise training to meet local need in your county or borough. Please get in touch with us by email training.admin@continyou.org.uk to discuss your training needs.
All of our courses are available for local authorities or clusters of schools to buy in. More information about in-house training, including details of additional courses not included in our open training, is also available.
Costs
The Department for Education subsidy that enabled us to offer training free of charge to supplementary schools has ended and we are now obliged to charge for all of our courses. We have kept the price as low as possible and there are additional discounts for community-led supplementary schools. Please note, to book your place payment is required before the course.
- fee for one-day course, including resources - £75 per person
- NRC member supplementary schools - £25 per person
