The London Academy professional development events

We know from our own experience that it can make all the difference to many of us when we can see and touch and feel things at first hand. The opportunity to visit projects in action is a common feature of London Academy events. It is just one way in which the London Academy offers you far more than a traditional training course.

London Academy events are based at The Grange, a 17th century manor house, only minutes away from central London.  As well as having a base in splendid surroundings, you will have access to modern office facilities, fax, wi-fi.

Each London Academy event has a dedicated Guide to look after you and do everything to make your stay in London as enjoyable as possible. As well as helping you to find your way around London, your Guide can help you with booking accommodation, cultural activities and other arrangements if you decide to stay in London for the weekend after the end of the London Academy event.

The London Academy package includes:
•    Two nights accommodation in a 3/4 star hotel (Wednesday and Thursday night)
•    Transport from the airport or train station of your arrival
•    Dinner on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
•    Breakfast and lunch on Thursday and Friday

•    Lectures and discussions led by leading practitioners, policy makers or academics
