W4MP is informed by the Commons Resources Department that the current contract for Members' staff training ends on 31 March 2008. A procurement exercise is being undertaken to place a new contract for this service; this exercise should be completed in the next couple of months. Therefore no training programmes will be run from the end of March 2008 until the new contract is in place.

From their site: Parli-training is a specialist training company, which provides intensive but practically based user-friendly vocational training courses for people working within Public Affairs. Over the last two years we have discovered that a large number of highly qualified people working in this area require specially devised courses to enhance their ability to lobby governmental institutions, more effectively. Our courses are specifically aimed at Government Affairs personnel, Parliamentary Officers, Media & Communication Specialists, Campaign team leaders and those working within Policy departments within NGO's, blue chips companies and for small pressure groups. |

The Industry and Parliament Trust (IPT) is a registered charity dedicated to fostering mutual understanding between business and Parliament for the public benefit. The IPT is independent, non-partisan and non-lobbying.
The IPT facilitates educational exchange ‘Fellowships’ for MPs, MEPs, Peers and Officers of both Houses with a range of companies from different sectors of commerce and industry. The parliamentarian spends 18 days over 18 months in one or more companies learning at first hand how business strategy is formulated and implemented. Through experiencing life outside Westminster or Brussels, parliamentarians are able to acquire a greater understanding of commerce and industry, together with an enhanced appreciation of the impact of legislation on business generally and on a particular sector. |

Politics Explained goes beyond simple theoretical explanations of the institutions and processes of government to examine how public affairs professionals engage in the full range of communications opportunities available and how you can utilise these skills in achieving your organisation’s goals and objectives. The content of the course and the style of delivery means it will benefit a wide range of individuals including PR/communications practitioners; marketing staff; those new to delivery of public affairs strategies; support staff, or simply those interested in learning more about public affairs. Delivered by professional public affairs consultants, each module explains how the processes work in reality, advises on the most effective style of engagement; and provides real life examples to place the information into a practical context. |
