The evening courses run by universities and training bodies are normally for 2 to 3 hours one or two nights a week for between 23 and 30 weeks. The costs vary greatly, from between 140 and 330, and books or manuals are usually extra. These popular events are designed to supplement the above courses. They allow students to meet each other which is very important if you are studying on your own at home. The ATT has been running special half day workshops for its students in since February 1999.
Some branches also organise student conferences.
The ATT publishes draft wording for training contracts between employers and ATT students.
