If you want to take part in Early Years training events and opportunities across the BCP area, you can use our Skillgate platform. From there, you can search for a course, view details and book yourself on.

Before using Skillgate and attending a course, you should:

• read our Skillgate terms and conditions for early years training and events
• read our training rules and guidelines: failure to stick to them may impact your booking
• have a look at our full early years training calendar to view everything on offer in one place

More details about our Skillgate platform can be found in this Early Years and Childcare newsletter, including guides for users and managers.

if you have issues accessing the website, logging in or any other issues, please email cpdenquiries@bcpcouncil.gov.uk.
