Training is an essential element of good practice in volunteer management and is increasingly recognised as a feature of successful organisations.
WHO THE COURSE IS FOR
This 3-day course is for those people who are responsible for designing and delivering training but have little or no experience in doing so. The course covers the basic skills required by an effective trainer.
Training programmes can provide volunteers with the opportunity to be as effective as possible within their role and to develop their skills and talents. By providing appropriate training and information, you can ensure volunteers are aware of your organisations policies and procedures and can also assist in risk management.
The Building Change Trust have kindly provided funding for participants to do this FREE training as an accredited place. The funding covers the full cost of assessment and certification through the Open College Network, making it a valuable opportunity for evidenced development. It is expected that candidates who accept a free training place will submit their workbook for accreditation within two weeks of completing the course. Candidates who book for this course should be prepared to meet this commitment.
ACCREDITATION
OCNNI Accreditation is 3 Credits at Level 2. Participants must attend all sessions to achieve Accreditation.
The activity of identifying training needs and designing and delivering appropriate training for your volunteers can also assist you in benchmarking against or working towards accreditation for the Investing in Volunteers Quality Standard for Volunteer Management.
