Dorothy Mitchell Smith was the SfEP training administrator for courses in Scotland and the north of England. A gifted tutor with high standards, she was generous with her time, knowledge and guidance. The Dorothy Mitchell Smith Memorial Fund helps beginners to fund their training, by giving all new members an extra 15% discount on one CIEP course.

A further 15% discount code is also given to every member successfully upgrading.

The discount can be set against the cost of one CIEP training course.
