A course tailored to the needs of your project group and based on the Introduction to Oral History course (see this link for details) can be arranged.
As with the Introduction course the maximum number of attendees is twelve. An OHS/British Library accredited trainer comes to your premises or a venue you have booked. The basic cost is £350 per day plus the trainer’s expenses and we endeavour to find a trainer local to you so that costs can be kept to a minimum.
If you would like to explore this option please send details of your project, the number in the group, what you require from the course, and possible dates (bearing in mind that we will require at least six weeks notice) to Rob Perks (rob.perks@bl.uk). He will match your requirements with a member of the training team who will contact you directly.
Further training dates will be posted on this site as they are confirmed. Please email rob.perks@bl.uk for further details.
