Training lightbulb

The Autumn/Winter programme of our popular training courses starts in September. You and your team are welcome to join us. We’ve got something for everyone with Pension Manager and Administrator courses, Interface courses and even Introduction to Pensions half day sessions for those newer to your pensions team.

Just need a refresher? The abridged versions for more experienced staff keep you up to date.

You can always find out more about the courses we offer and when they’re running from the employer portal training page but to make it easy we’ve included a summary below for you too…

There are a limited number running for the rest of 2019 and we want to make sure that you don’t miss out. To help us meet your needs, please take a moment to let us know what training you and your team want to attend for the rest of this year.
