Training news
We are fully back in the swing of training, with some spaces still available on our Benefits for Older People course on the mornings of 18th/19th January and more for our one hour Benefits Update Webinar at 11am on Wednesday 2nd February at 11am, which is free of charge to anyone who has attended one of our courses in the past year.

Benefits made simple
Welfare benefits law is complex and ever-changing. Our high quality, learner-centred courses will simplify the benefits system allowing you to guide your service users through the information maze.
The Benefits Training Company is an independent organisation led by benefits trainer and consultant, David Stickland.
David and the team have delivered over 2000 courses to the advice sector over the last 12 years and all our trainers are recognised as experts in their field. Together they design and deliver welfare benefits courses as well as offering consultancy for national programs including those of Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG), Shelter, Citizens Advice and Advice UK as well as for many local authorities, housing associations, law firms, charities and others.
