All the good topics are up in Leeds and Edinburgh. I like the bite size courses as they are easy to find time to go and do as they can be fitted in when on a short day.

&lt;p&gt;Bite size CPD got phased out at Potters Bar and Huntingdon because courses got scheduled and I either had to cancel them due to lack of interest, or had very low turnout. The evening bite size model was really nice, but webinars and free CPD has basically ended that market. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basically, I can&amp;#39;t compete with free. Day courses are still running as scheduled at all centres, but even Edinburgh and Leeds are running far fewer bite size courses than last year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Day courses seem to be unaffected by the current economy, and this year&amp;#39;s TP Congress was our best ever, it&amp;#39;s just bite-size courses that seem to have had their day for the moment. It&amp;#39;s a pity, but there you go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Happy to chat via PM if you&amp;#39;d like to know more!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
