The Certificate in Local Council Administration, is a professional qualification for Town and Parish Council Clerks that is specifically designed to demonstrate the occupational standards needed to fulfil the role of a local council Clerk.

We are the County's recognised CiLCA Trainer and we deliver training to support the development of your portfolio for CiLCA. We are looking ahead to 2020 with a plan for more course dates. We also provide a one-to-one tuition support for those Clerks who struggle to commit to day-time courses. Feedback from one of our 'distance learners': "This type of learning was of great benefit to me and a way I prefer to study…..not attending workshops meant that I needed to undertake deeper research into questions, thereby gaining a greater depth of knowledge and being able to retain it….I especially like the freedom to work at my own pace."

Cost is a serious consideration with any professional development and we are delighted to be able to continue to provide financial assistance through match-funding for both the training AND the registration fees associated with CiLCA, bringing the costs down by 50%. This funding is only available through us, the County Association.
