  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;As you're a Validator all your contact details are already in the system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Your spot will be confirmed once we've received payment, or you've raised a Purchase Order.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This training is for you if you're a Validator and your 5 years accreditation is nearly up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Or, you're after a refresher and an opportunity to calibrate your tree risk decision making with other Validators.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The link lets you know what we'll be doing and the benefits you'll get from being a Validator.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The headline benefits include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This is an in-house training workshop for Solihull Council.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The workshop helps field staff to get comfortable with being able to recognize &lt;a href="https://www.validtreerisk.com/resources/Documents/Risk%20Management/VALID%20-%20Basic%20Validator%20Obvious%20Tree%20Risk%20Features%20Guide%20v9.0.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#011142"&gt;Obvious Tree Risk Features&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that need flagging for an Arborist to take a closer look at.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
