These continued learning courses typically last one day and are held at Aspley Guise in the Society's archive. The database course is a two-day course with a 3 month interval between sessions.
Courses involve hands-on tuition and are focused on practical help. Course sizes are limited and group size is no more than ten, though a typical number is eight.
