Training Partners

The Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce recognises the fact that everyone’s learning style is quite unique. Some training may be completed in intense bursts while other facets of personal development are better addressed with an extended programme.

 

In recognition of this, we have entered into partnerships with the following nationally recognised and accredited organisations in order to provide you with the opportunity of experiencing their in-house, long term programmes. Where possible we have also negotiated discounted rates for members of the Employers’ Chamber.

 

We will be regularly notifying you of the programmes that we think you might be interested in, so look out for details in the online Training Calendar, in our Update magazine and in the e-Vents e-mailout. We also encourage you to check out each organisation’s website as shown below. However, to obtain your Employers’ Chamber discount, you need to register through us.
