Tailored provision for an organisation, department or group
Examples of our tailored courses and workshops
In addition to our standard provision, the CfAE tailors a range of training sessions, workshops and courses to the specific needs and research focus of an organisation, department or group (not individuals). Charges vary according to the nature of the request.
- Training sessions are delivered in one to three hours and provide targeted input.
- Workshops are typically half/one-day sessions that provide input and practice tailored to the participants' discipline or research focus. They can also include feedback.
- Courses are a series of daily or weekly sessions that typically provide tailored input, practice and feedback. They can be embedded into a department's programme of study.
We also provide structured and supported one/two-day retreats to achieve significant progress on writing. In addition to writing time, the retreats provide targeted input on effective writing and individual redrafting feedback.
