NATFHE’s Union Learning Representatives (ULR’s) are a new category of activists who play an important role in dealing with professional development, training and learning needs in NATFHE branches and workplaces. By working with the branch and management, ULR’s ensure that staff training needs are met and that management does not solely control the learning and professional development agenda. In order to be accredited as a ULR, activists need to complete NATFHE’s tailor made three-day training course.

COURSE CONTENT

• the role of a ULR
• rights and time off for ULR’s
• learning needs analysis
• workplace learning agreements
• briefings on recent government policies for staff development such as the implications for Success for All, funding issues and college development plans.

You have a right to paid time off to attend the training, in addition to your branches current allocation of time off.

These courses are accredited by the Open College Network, and run for NATFHE in conjunction with the TUC.
