Not-for-Profit Workshops and Events

The FaCS Education and Training Calendar for 13 is now available. We have used the feedback which was provided by participants who have attended our training events, as well as via surveys of Government Agencies and the Not-for-Profit (NFP) Community Sector in developing this programme.

As new events are added, they will be made available here and published in the FaCS Bulletin.

To find out about future education and training workshops and events, or request an in-house training workshop, please do not hesitate to contact the FaCS Education and Training team by email. We welcome your feedback and suggestions for future FaCS education and training.
