Welcome to Yorkshire NAHT

The website for Yorkshire's NAHT Training Courses.

Co-ordinator Sheila Wainwright welcomes NAHT members and non-members to browse through these pages.

Below you can see a list of planned courses. To view further details, and also to apply online, please click over the course.

Click here to learn about the financial management courses we are offering in September and October. There are two different courses, both being run on two dates.

NAHT is subsidising these courses - each is restricted a small number of attendees to ensure that every-one gets close attention from the speaker.

We are currently assembling our plans for Autumn 2010. Courses will include Financial Basics and Benchmarking, Safeguarding, Retirement, Leadership and NQTs. Additionally there will be several conferences including a repeat of last year's at Rudding Park entitled "Leading the Learning Revolution" and an "Education and Arts" one at Northern Ballet's new building in Leeds.
