Training

BALC offers training to parish councils. Please contact us for further information about our training programme.

• Bursary limit is 50% of the cost of the training course, to a maximum bursary of £100.

• The bursary scheme is aimed at smaller councils: any clerk or administrative assistant who works for a council with a turnover (i.e. annual budgeted income) of under £25,000
• Providing all of the required information has been received, the bursary should typically be confirmed within two weeks of the receipt of your application; payment will be made within three weeks of approval.
• If a clerk or administrative assistant works for more than one council, they are eligible if any one council comes within the £25,000 criteria.
• Only one bursary can be given per council per financial year
• The event or training course may start on the day this form is signed but must start/take place within 12 months of bursary confirmation
• The event or training course cannot be claimed for retrospectively
• Support towards the Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA) registration fee can be claimed if the training is linked to courses or events that directly support its completion.
