BURA to run Open Regeneration Training Programme

Following the continued success of the Regeneration Training Programme in Northern Ireland, BURA, the leading independent organisation in the field of regeneration, will run a 10 modular open programme in Belfast from September 2008. BURA’s Training Programme is a unique course designed as a professional’s introduction into regeneration. It is aimed at individuals already in regeneration or who work in one of the many related fields such as housing, planning, the legal profession or within a consultancy, and want an overall view of the sector. Assisted by our influential steering group, BURA has built upon three successful years delivering the programme in Northern Ireland to create a course which aids delegates to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence required to make a success of their responsibilities within regeneration.

Delegates on the 2007-2008 Programme in Northern Ireland commented after attending modules on the Regeneration Training Programme:

‘Enjoyable and informative day. Had contact with people I normally don’t have. The course refreshed & replenished skills and information in that had lay dormant.

’‘An excellent day. Very interesting and excellent presentation and plenty of opportunity for discussion/questions.

’‘Relevant, interesting, easy to understand. Good balance of listening/interaction.

’The programme comprises 10 modules. Participants are encouraged to enrol in the full programme though the option of taking individual modules or either the first or second series of modules is available.
