SCIP Seminars
SCIP seminars offer you an opportunity to find out about IT topics of particular use and interest to the community and charity sector. They are open to all community and voluntary sector organisations, businesses and individuals and offer an outline of a topic rather than an in-depth training session. Knowledgeable and experienced trainers offer an overview to WordPress and an introduction to social media, with ample opportunity to ask questions.
These sessions take place in the Conference Room at Community Base, which has access and facilities for all.
