About us

Understanding ModernGov provide a portfolio of highly informative, interactive Government training courses that clearly and concisely explain the mechanisms of government and parliament.

Catering for the public, private and third sectors, our courses cover a wide range of areas designed to enrich your knowledge and enhance your skills.

Our speakers and trainers are prominent parliamentarians, civil servants and academics, all experts in their respective fields. Each course is a valuable learning opportunity, allowing delegates to interact with speakers and hear first-hand from people who help shape policy. All seminars are held under the Chatham House Rule.

Most of our courses take place in central London, at prime venues just minutes from Whitehall and the Houses of Parliament.

We also run courses regularly in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Additionally, our courses can be tailor-made to fit your organisation’s specific needs.

Delivered a really excellent course. Managed to make a potentially dry subject extremely interesting and engaging.
