Prices from just £89 per day
As of Monday 10 October 2011, until further notice, all Sitra public training course prices have been dropped. Public training courses now start from £89 per person (for a one-day course).
We hope that the new prices will allow for training to become more accessible to our clients in recognition that the regular training of staff is vital to our sector.
