- Having completed an excellent course I have come out at the end a different person to when I started. I believe that I now have more confidence and knowledge of the planning system and my support role within it.
Mary Moore, Wiltshire County Council - I always learn from these modules. If there is any new or pending legislation, it is normally discussed, which is hugely beneficial. The course content is relevant and a greater understanding of the technical role is gained.
Emma Nasta, Fenland District Council - The tutor was very good, had answers for all our questions and made a quite weighty subject enjoyable.
Lorraine Gray, North Norfolk District Council - The modules that I have completed have provided me with extended knowledge about the planning process, and they enable you to progress more easily in your career too. Although they take hard work and dedication, I would recommend them!
Leanne Stopp, Tendring District Council - The research to complete the assignments opened my eyes to a great many areas and I have been able to put the information learned into practice.
Fran Tanner, Lincolnshire County Council - I now feel more confident in my knowledge base and better able to assess my teams needs and pass on the lessons I have learned. I would recommend this course to planning support staff, it's hard work but very rewarding and a great confidence builder.
Beverly Cleary, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council - The opportunity to engage with those in similar roles at other authorities has provided potential ideas and working methods to adopt within my service. The course has been extremely beneficial to me within my current role. Much of the content is applicable to my role and it has been an excellent experience.
Jeremy Eaves, Norwich City Council - Completing all 4 modules has greatly increased my Planning knowledge, and I am able to make improvements in Planning Support as a result.
