With so much competition for funding, you need to submit the best funding application you possibly can.
SYFAB's Making a Good Application is an interactive virtual training course which explores how to write a funding application that satisfies the funder’s criteria, whilst at the same time promotes your project in an appealing way.

Previous Zoom Virtual Classroom participants said:
“Although I am experienced at submitting funding applications the course has improved my ability to focus on the key points necessary”.
“Excellent sessions, I benefitted from splitting the session into 2 half days as it allowed time for a lot of new info to be absorbed before jumping into more learning. Trainers very approachable and knowledgeable, with plenty of real-world experience to draw on”.
“I feel more confident that I could write a successful application”.
“Absolutely brilliant with the facts, what to look for and the necessary requirements for a successful application. Both presenters worked together well, and the information was easy, relevant and necessary”.
