 EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FROM MEMBERS

Heritage Skills Training in Tasmania

An opportunity exists for up to two KHA members to attend the week long autumn Longford Academy course  at Longford, Tasmania in May 2024.  The Longford Academy is Australia's best known hands-on heritage training group.  The Autumn course is the only course on heritage for trades people, professionals, and volunteers that is currently available in Australia and regularly run.

KHA will cover course fees - as we are volunteers discount arrangements exist with the Longford Academy.   Onsite twin share accommodation, pick-up and drop-off at Launceston Airport in Tasmania, and some meals are included.  Participant/s will need to meet their travel costs to Launceston, their food and non-included meals.  If accomodation other than the accommodation provided by KHA is preferred, the cost of that will also have to be met by the participant.

Dates of the course: 6-11 May 2024

Expressions of interest close 29 February 2024.

Submit expressions of interest to Marion Plum: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Expressions of interest should detail why you want to attend and what the benefits to KHA will be after you complete the course if approved. Participants will also be required to provide a report on their experience of the course to KHA after the completion of the course.  Please contact Marion if you have any questions as she has completed the course.
