During the last academic year, we piloted national Course Rep Training (CRT) sessions, giving reps from all colleges and universities the chance to attend a sparqs’ CRT session if they had missed the opportunity within their own institution. These sessions were a great success and as such we are running national sessions again this year.
The sessions are open to reps from all colleges and universities throughout Scotland and as always, the training is free. Attendees will receive a certificate upon completion of the workshop along with a resource pack with all the key information from the session.
The workshops are taking place online on the following dates and times:
- Wednesday 27th November – 10.00am-12noon (now fully booked)
- Wednesday 27th November – 2.00-4.00pm (now fully booked)
- Thursday 28th November – 2.00-4.00pm (now fully booked)
- Wednesday 4th December – 10.00am-12noon (now fully booked)
- Wednesday 4th December – 2.00-4.00pm (now fully booked)
Sessions will be delivered by sparqs' Associate Trainers via Zoom and each session lasts 2 hours. Each workshop will be delivered to between 15 and 30 reps and is designed to help reps in these ways:
- To refresh understanding of the course rep role and the work involved.
- To discuss the Student Learning Experience and explore how reps can use the Student Learning Experience model in their role as reps.
- To practice some of the skills that will help reps work effectively.
- To understand the support and resources that are available to reps.
We have emailed CRT Organisers in institutions with all the details and how their reps can book onto these sessions.
