Open Workshops
Melanie Cash Open Workshops
For those clients who wish to benefit from some specific training as part of an open workshop, we often run workshops in conjunction with other organisations including Venues of Excellence, Marketing Liverpool, North Wales Tourism and Network She. You can choose to book just one team member onto one of these open workshops, providing a very cost-effective option for key members of your team.
Virtual workshops are proving very popular, and more training will be available via Zoom session to provide a blended approach to learning.
Each workshop will include delegates from other organisations and can be a great opportunity to meet new contacts and learn from others in the hospitality industry.
Please check here again for future courses and dates. There are examples below of some of the open courses which have been offered previously and which will be available again soon.
