Here it is – this year’s TJ Awards shortlist. Congratulations to all who made it, and see you in December (if not before).
The category champions of the TJ Awards 2018 have revealed their shortlist of entrants they want to interview in the next stage of judging. This is the interviews and these form the final phase when the gold, silver and bronze winners will be decided. Interviews are compulsory and failure to attend will result in disqualification.
The interview dates are available online, where finalists can register attendees and select their preferred time on a first come first serve basis. If you have any problems securing your interview appointment email awards@trainingjournal.com as soon as possible.
TJ extends its congratulations to all the lucky finalists and look forward to meeting many of you at the interview stage. Our consolations go to those who didn’t make the shortlist – competition is very tough as always.
