Candidate Training Day
Latest
SKEGNESS, FRIDAY 2 MARCH 2012
This year's Spring Conference will be a two-day event for the first time. With so many people now applying to undergo our Candidate Assessment Centres, there's a strong demand for training – and there are plenty of other people who want to brush up on policy, campaigning and electoral rules.
So we've devised a Training Day at the Embassy Theatre, Skegness on Friday 2 March, that will enable applicants, approved candidates, agents, branch officials and campaigners to brush up on a wide range of vital knowledge and skills that will help us win elections.
The day will be divided into three 90-minute sessions:
11am –12.30pm SESSION ONE (Options)
Candidate Training: Public Speaking (2/3 groups)
