With the greater scrutiny of public spending has come a change in the way budgets are managed and spent. More and more, changes to services and benefits are being treated as projects with a greater insistence on Best Practice being demonstrably used.

However, there are simply not enough people with the relevant skills and there is massive pressure to satisfy the demand.

Ever increasing numbers of public sector workers are being asked to work on, or manage, projects, contracts and procurements as part of their daily routines. For some, it is a complete move into a totally new area. For others, there may be a little knowledge and experience but a common factor is that there is not enough expertise within each field and a skills gap need to be filled with professional training.

Datrix has developed a wide range of courses customised for the public sector. Intrinsically, they are similar to those offered on our public course schedule, but they have been tailored to meet the differing needs of the different client sectors.

By listening to our public sector customers, we have created a series of courses that will serve three key sectors: Local Authority, Government Departments and Agencies and the NHS.
