Issues covered in our most popular workshops include:

IBRU’s unique boundary training programme has been running since 1996 attracting over 1,800 participants from over 125 countries around the world.
Our professional training workshops are led by teams of expert tutors and provide a relevant combination of background theory and practical application in an informal teaching environment. Numbers are limited to maximise interaction between tutors and participants so we advise you book early to guarantee your place.
