Enrolments already being booked for Autumn!

Hi Vince,

Unfortunately, our website has been the target of a cyber attack today, whi=
ch has caused it to go offline. We expect it to be unavailable for approxim=
ately the next 24 hours while the issue is resolved.

The good news is that we do not store any personal or customer data on our =
website, so there has been no data breach or compromise of personal informa=
tion.

In the meantime, if you would like more information about any of the course=
s mentioned in my earlier email, simply reply to this email and we'll send =
you the relevant course brochure as a PDF.

If you'd like to enrol yourself or a colleague, we can also complete the en=
tire enrolment process by email. Just let us know:

- The name of the learner(s)
- The course you'd like to enrol them onto

We'll take care of the rest.

For convenience, I've included my previous email below (with the website li=
nks removed for now! apart from meeting link and linkedin link which are bo=
th fine to use!)

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hi Vince,

As we come to the end of another fantastic month, I wanted to share a quick=
 update from Mike West, our Managing Director.

Mike has spent the last 18 years helping employers make the most of Governm=
ent-funded training. Before founding Skills Funding Group, he also built an=
d ran successful businesses of his own and worked extensively within recrui=
tment. During July alone, he has personally spoken with employers of every =
size, helping them identify funding opportunities and the right development=
 programmes for their teams.

And before you ask... Mike isn't AI! If you'd like to put a face to the nam=
e, check out his experience and credentials, take a look at his LinkedIn pr=
ofile:
