Training on Claimant Commitments

Does anyone know if there’s anyone offering training/seminars on the claimant commitment targeted at advisers? I work with a group of advisers who’d like a session just to get some information on how they work and be able to ask questions, but I’m loathe to ask the DWP/JCP as I feel they’ll only give ‘party line’ answers and not acknowledge anyone who suggests they’ve had clients struggling….

....is this just a bit of a pipe dream, or is there someone out there offering such a thing?! Preferably Manchester/NW-based, but I realise that’s just getting over-greedy!

Thanks - I’ve emailed CPAG about their options….if anyone has any alternatives I’d be really grateful to hear them….it’s always good to have choices!

Thanks
