Additional Training and Support
RSC Assist
This is a new service from RSC West Midlands offering you free extended support (mentoring) in an area of your choice. RSC Assist will enable you to work closely with a member of the RSC team for up to a day in planning your project and benefiting from advice and expertise. You retain control of the task in hand, but will be able to call on the support of your nominated advisor throughout. On completion, you will work with your RSC e-learning advisor to produce a brief case study or best practice guide, which outlines the outcomes and any lessons learned, for the benefit of other learning providers.
