Due to the ongoing pandemic this had to be postponed. However, Chris Cooper-Abbs has broken the one day update into 3 x two hour refresher modules and will deliver these sessions via Webinar.
Each session will update your knowledge on particular modules, which combined will provide you with a full update.
