What others are saying about LGIU training
“The lesson was extremely clear and was packed with good tips around scrutiny. I especially liked the group work — the whole session was interactive and it was helpful to be able to ask questions.”
“Thanks for a fantastic session on finance! We had an excellent trainer — they broke a dry subject down very effectively and I would be interested in even more trainings on finance in the future.”
– Alastair, Cardiff
“LGIU helped us to design a bespoke programme of custom sessions that were impactful on both a work and personal level. The trainers were really engaging, which really helped our councillors take a lot from the sessions. Elected members received the training extremely well as the content was specifically tailored to their roles and responsibilities. The flexibility in training times also allowed us to hold sessions when more of our team could join.”
– Shannon, Dublin
