Notice Description

The ONS will shortly be releasing a tender opportunity for the following; The successful bidder (provider) will administer a programme of training and master classes in economic statistics to professional economists and graduates. It will be subject to the direction of the ONS-RES working group who will provide a clear steer in terms of course and master class topic, content, leaders and timing. It is expected that we will hold four courses over a 12 month period, with the aim of beginning in September 2017.
