There are two ways you can search for a course online. Either
1) Use our Courses Finder to find a course to suit your requirements, or
2) Browse all our courses in a particular programme, be it CPD courses, Technician courses, IT courses, etc.
Let's run through both options.

Hover over the “Training” option from the left-hand menu and then hover over “Courses” from the sub-menu that appears.
You'll then be presented with a second sub-menu of items, as shown opposite.
Let's go through each of these, one-by-one.

Courses Finder
The Course Finder is essentially a search engine that allows you to search our database of public courses to find one that suits you. You can make your search as narrow or as wide as you wish . For instance, you may simply want a list of all tax-related courses. Alternatively, you might only want to see details of corporation tax courses, running in London, between 1 January and 1 February, being lectured by a particular speaker.
We’ll cover the Courses Finder in more detail a little further down, in the section titled “The Courses Finder”.
CPD Courses
By clicking on "CPD Courses" from the sub menu, you'll be presented with our programme of CPD courses in a list format. Our range of CPD courses are aimed at helping to ensure you remain technically up to date, whilst identifying areas where you can improve efficiencies within your organisation.

Technician Courses
By clicking on "Technician Courses" from the sub menu, you'll be presented with our programme of Technician courses in a list format.

Many of the courses offer case studies or examples in addition to a lecture-based format.

The Courses Finder
SWATUK's Course Finder enables you to quickly and easily find a course(s) to match your requirements, whether by topic, lecturer, date, course type, or the distance of the course from a specific postcode.
Let's brifly go through each search option:
Keyword search:

You can now simply click "Search" and you'll be presented with all courses that match your criteria. However, the following options allow you to narrow your search if you wish.
Find a course in your area
Use the "Show Courses Within” drop-down-box to enter the number of miles you’re prepared to travel from a given postcode that you can enter in the adjacent box. This will allow you to narrow your course search to a specific region of the UK. Of course, you can leave this blank if you wish to view all courses throughout the UK.
Find a course running between 2 given dates
The "Running between" boxes allow you to narrow your search to only include courses running between 2 sets of dates that you specify. Click the "Calendar" icon 
to the right of each box to pick out the dates you wish.

Use the "Lectured by" drop-down-box to narrow your search to only include courses lectured by a particular speaker.
Specify a 'level' of course
Use the "Course type" drop-down-box, to only include courses in a particular programme in your search.
For example, our CPD courses are aimed at more senior staff looking to remain technically up to date with changes in the profession and improve the efficiencies of their practice; whereas our Staff and Student level workshops are aimed at those in the early stages of their accountancy career, providing tuition on undertaking accounts, audit and tax work.
