Training

Our unique training courses aim to get people working in tuckshops skilled and qualified to make the tuckshop a place of pride in the school community.

Can’t see a training date in our calendar that suits your tuckshop? Let us know what course you’re interested in and what dates you’re available and we can work with you.

For virtual training courses – due to postage timelines, for any registrations made within the week before the course date, the participant will need to print course materials, which will be forwarded by email once payment is made.
