When you book a space, you will asked to choose which workshops you would like to attend and to identify your order of preference. We will try and ensure that everyone gets their first choices of training but it would be helpful if you choose more than 4 sessions worth of training in case something which you have chosen is already full. We will confirm which training sessions we have booked you onto prior to the training day (so you will know what you are going to turning up for).
