The MLTA's National Conference was was buzzing with activity this year. If you missed out, make sure you take a look at Phill Thomas's in-depth report here
MLTA provides opportunities for further training that members will find valuable. If you operate as a leader in isolation or completed your award many years ago you probably welcome the chance to review your skills. If you’ve completed a training course and are thinking it’s time you got on with the assessment you may want some refresher training. Or you might just be keen to meet up with other award holders and swap notes or exchange ideas.
Whatever stage you’re at, we are very keen to hear from you with ideas for particular activities, events or areas of interest.
MLTA Courses - for Continuing Professional Development
The staff at the MLTA office are presently considering what training opportunities to offer to members in the coming months.
