The Society remains very proud of its partnership with the University and recommends study with the University of Gloucestershire.



The University of Gloucestershire offers quality advanced training for study at home, through distance learning. It also advises the Society on training issues including CPD (Continuous Professional Development), mentoring and the 'Working with your Council' induction course.

The University’s courses lead to advanced professional qualifications.

  • The most popular option is the two-year course leading to a Certificate of Higher Education – Level One of the Foundation Degree in Community Engagement and Governance (CEG) (starting September 2010). This course has been designed with the full co-operation of the SLCC and ILCM (Institute of Local Council Management) to meet the specific needs of local council clerks.
