Training
Building Capability Across Governance, Risk & Procurement
At Barcud Shared Services, we believe effective training should do more than transfer knowledge, it should improve decision-making, strengthen resilience, and create lasting organisational confidence.
Our training programmes are designed specifically for the Welsh Housing and Public sectors, delivered by practitioners who work directly within the regulatory, governance, procurement, and assurance environments your teams navigate every day.
We do not deliver generic classroom theory. Every workshop is built around practical application, real organisational challenges, and the realities facing Boards, leadership teams, operational managers, and project staff.
Whether your organisation is preparing for the demands of the Procurement Act 2023, strengthening governance arrangements, improving assurance frameworks, or developing staff confidence, our training provides the expertise and practical tools to support meaningful improvement.

We work with:
