Training Information

Since 2004 Teesdale Village Halls Consortium has held various contracts with the Learning and Skills Council to provide training to people across the North East region to improve their skills and knowledge for volunteering and employment opportunities.

These contracts have now come to an end and for the foreseeable future we will no longer be delivering training courses.
