PtP Learning Modules

PtP has developed a series of learning modules on partnership-related subjects.They are free at the point of use, and delivered in 1½ - 2 hour sessions either by expert consultants or by PtP Practitioner Associates (PAs).

Toolkits developed from these sessions by PtP are available on this website too. They comprise a selection of documents which can be downloaded and used independently by LSPs in learning events.
