Training

The legislation surrounding planning applications, notices and notifications for radio masts continues to be confusing - and not just for planning officers! ECS gives highly acclaimed "no nonsense" training courses on this complex subject.

Our courses take a truly independent line and we draw on the best possible sources of independent information and case studies to really bring the subject to life. Little wonder then that the most common comment that we receive about our courses is "the best training we have ever had".

 

 

Courses

We normally run courses in your own offices. This minimises disruption and time taken for your staff. We don't leave out Members either - we have special courses for Members. Our courses have been running since 1995 and so far we have trained over 2,000 Officers and Members.
