A number of Branch Officers and Committee members have raised the point that they are unable to attend all day training at weekends.  To meet their training needs, the Branch Management Course is now being offered as an evening course, being completed online in 2 x 2 hours sessions.  In order to complete the training, you must have completed the 'Introduction to Branch Management e-learning' and then attend both sessions.  These courses are open to members irrespective of their home area and places do get snapped up.  

Courses are now available for enrolment on Discover with me as the facilitator as follows:

Note we will still offer face to face options as some people prefer that method of learning.  I will ensure that you are informed when we are running courses in the County.  However, you can always check Discover for options in nearby counties.  You will also be able to choose other dates for online delivery if the above dates do not suit.

The treasurer's course has recently been revised and updated.  For those who completed the previous course, your certificate remains valid.  However, we recommend that you update your knowledge by completing the new course.  Anyone who enrolled on the old course but has not started or completed it, will automatically be directed to the new version the next time they log-in.

I have been asked about other courses that may be offered as an online/webinar rather than a full day face to face course (eg Secretaries Course).  We are working with Learning & Development to do just that.  Following the recent Conference motion to mandate training, we will continue to seek the best way to facilitate your learning.  

If you or any of your members have any difficulty accessing the training platform or the courses, you can always contact myself or your MEO for assistance.
