Welcome to Continue to Learn at Harrogate Week 2012

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is at the heart of BIGGA’s ethos.  It is widely recognised that CPD is a vital component in enhancing the reputation of greenkeepers and the greenkeeping profession.

The skills that are now required, to meet the demands of the business, are changing and this was kept firmly in mind when developing this year’s programme.  Following the overwhelming success of the 2011 education programme, attendee feedback has been used to build the 2012 education offering so that it continues to be relevant to the needs of those attending.

The programme comprises one, two and three day workshops, a conference and seminars presented by a combination of course managers, industry specialists and companies exhibiting at the BTME exhibition.

The Turf Managers’ Conference makes its return and features presentations from Dr Frank Rossi from Cornell University and Lesley Wood, a Social Media specialist.  New workshops include Successful Project Management and Essential IT Business Administration for Greenkeepers.  Course Managers’ from across the UK will also be presenting seminars on tournament preparation, winter kill and construction projects.

We look forward to receiving your bookings and welcoming you to Continue to Learn 2012.
