Co-ordinated by the Campaign for Learning since 1999, the primary goal of Learning at Work Week is to spotlight the benefits of learning and development at work and build learning cultures at work. Partners of the event are running free and low cost opportunities.

Bookkeeping is a regulated profession, a fundamental part of our membership with The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), is that we are committed to the continuing development of our professional skills, ensuring they maintain their status as the UK's leading bookkeepers and as such, learning at work is something we do constantly. This is not only to satisfy our membership requirements and therefore practice licence, but to also ensure our clients get the best possible service.

In addition to the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) we do, 3 members of staff are currently studying for either AAT or ICB qualifications.
