TRA is the UK's leading provider of practitioner-presented training for the town planning field.
We offer training:

Our main audience is local authority planning staff but we also provide a significant amount of training for elected members and town and parish councillors and offer various briefing sessions for other non-planners with an interest in the planning system.
