Who should come on our courses?
Even if you are not a member of Manchester Advice and Information Network (MAIN) but are an advice worker, volunteer, solicitor or other related professional working in the United Kingdom, you may find our courses useful.
Note: Our training is intended for paid / unpaid staff working for agencies. Individuals who do not apply for training through an agency will receive low priority as we expect trainees to be putting knowledge into practice within the context of their work.
Scope of our courses
All of our courses take place in Manchester. For advisers outside the North of England, or who want training different to the courses we offer, there may be alternative training providers nearer to you, or providing more suitable training.
Most of our courses are based on the interpretation and practice of UK legislation.
