Helping you build the skills you need for digital development, the AmbITion Scotland Spring Trainings are:

• hands-on - about gaining practical experience

• targeted at those with a basic level of knowledge already

• delivered in small groups, so that participants get the personal support they need for learning

• going to provide a clear learning path – take the series and build your skills up week by week

• focused – if you only need to focus on a specific topic you can dip in and out of the course series

• about networking and sharing with peers on the same learning path as you

• flexible. You can attend in person or they can be viewed online on demand later. (Due to the highly interactive nature of these training sessions, they will not be webcast live.)
