Training
The Institute of Regulation can provide training and development in the theory and practice of regulation.
We are working with our partners – The Open University, The Institute of Leadership and Management, and The Civil Service College – to develop accredited training, from half-day courses up to post-graduate degrees in regulation. We can also connect Institute members to learn from each other on specific topics.
