Our training sessions are free to attend for all PRSAS registered services and will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. We encourage you to join the training as a team and get everyone involved!

Beginners service training session - getting started with PRSAS

This session is designed for services who have recently signed up for accreditation and are currently going through the initial self-assessment and service improvement phase of accreditation.
