Historic England has relaunched its online training resources and there are a ranges of short courses of interest to readers of this blog.

It is free to register and undertake the courses; each takes 1-4 hours.
I would recommend:
KEY SKILLS
Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment - MoRPHE
This is a detailed walkthrough of Historic England's MoRPHE project management system and its manager's guide, which was developed as an application of PRINCE2 to replace MAP2. Organisations undertaking work for Historic England are required to use MoRPHE, and it is also used by some as standard practice regardless of funding. (and if this description is a baffling set of acronyms you should do this course!)
This is based on UKRI guidelines for (academic) research, and is focused on potential harm to living participants, although cultural heritage is also covered. It is interesting to compare and contrast with the CIFA Ethics workshop; I don't think either provide much of a handle for those facing the small everyday ethical dilemmas (am I knowledgeable/competent enough to make a judgment call on whether this bit of heritage can be destroyed?, my client wants me to ignore part of the impact - what can I do?).
HERITAGE FOR PLANNERS: ESSENTIALS
Despite the label, this section has courses that are of interest to anyone involved in presenting heritage information to planning authorities, and cover Historic England's guidance on heritage values, e and setting.
HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
There's an excellent course on Statements of Heritage Significance and NPPF4.
