The Branch arranges Professional Awareness Courses a number of times each year. These are generally held one evening a week over a period of four or five consecutive weeks. These courses are not intended as a substitute for commercial or workplace training. They should be treated as introductory or refresher courses suitable for IT professionals who wish to broaden their experience.
Attendees need not be BCS members but members are offered a discounted rate.
