Upcoming trustee training
Current trustee training roster We offer online training to help trustees better understand their duties and legal obligations, and how to run trusts successfully. You can attend a session if you are a newly appointed trustee, if you are thinking about becoming a trustee, or if you would like to refresh your knowledge.
