Our national Course Rep Training (CRT) sessions are now open for booking. These sessions are for reps from all colleges and universities who may have missed the chance to attend CRT earlier in the 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:
- Tuesday 25th November 2025 – 10.00-11.30am
- Wednesday 26th November 2025 – 1.30-3.00pm (with BSL interpreter)
- Thursday 27th November 2025 – 10.00am–11.30am
- Thursday 27th November 2025 – 2.00–3.30pm
Sessions will be delivered by sparqs' Associate Trainers via Zoom and each session lasts 1.5 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 all institutions with the information required for their reps to book onto these sessions.
