Learning and Development Highlights

Thanks again to all who took part. Here are a few snippets from the fantastic entries to the community competition:

“My learning highlight of the year has to be meeting with Deborah Limb and Ben Jones, to get the knowledge and confidence to develop, publish and present my first LP Module. With many more on the way!”

Jonathan Carter, Bath & North East Somerset Council

“My Learning and Development highlight of the year has been receiving a piece of e-learning from Cardiff Council via Chris Allan which possibly stands to save us in excess of £5K per annum and is of a better standard for end user learning than all of the paid for modules in the marketplace I have tried…”
