It offers a series of focused training sessions on the topics that matter most to your role. The programme gives you practical insights to support your governance, compliance and decision-making, helping you strengthen your knowledge and manage your scheme with confidence.

By concentrating on key areas of trustee responsibility, Trustee Workbench equips you with the tools and understanding you need to carry out your duties effectively.

Places are limited and reserved for PMI Trustees, so we recommend registering early to avoid disappointment.
