Dear colleagues

** Apologies for cross-posting **

NatCen Learning has recently opened bookings for its early 2011 open training programme. We offer practical, hands-on training in how to conduct research in the real world. Our trainers are all active policy researchers and work hard to ensure that our events are about knowledge exchange and peer learning. We aim to ensure that you can learn from our forty years of  experience in providing high quality applied social research at the National Centre for Social Research but also that you take time to learn from one another.  We offer discounts to all academic and third sector bodies. We can also provide tailored training for organisations or research teams/units. Contact us on 0207 549 8577 or at [log in to unmask] . Further information is available on our website:  www.natcen.ac.uk.
