SOA Annual Training Programme

In an effort to assist clubs and individuals to plan training to qualify volunteers and keep them up to date, we have gradually been moving towards a more predictable training programme that will run on an annual cycle. Obviously this will have to incorporate a degree of flexibility to accommodate the events calendar, school and university holidays but on the whole we will try and run the same courses at more or less the same time every year.

The proposed annual training programme is as follows:-

Notes:

[1], [2] & [4] – one day in person in early spring and autumn to fit in with events calendar.  One to be north based, one central belt.

[3] two online workshops several weeks apart with home tasks in between.

[4] Grade B controllers once every 18 months on an as required basis.

[5] Block sizes indicative of course length. Lead coach once every 2 years on an as required basis.  Coach CPD 2 x online sessions and 2 x in person sessions, one each in spring and autumn.

Details of all the current courses including registration forms are on the SOA training calendar with dates also included in the events calendar as a backup. It really helps us to provide what you would like if you let us know when you need a course and register in plenty of time as courses require a minimum number to be cost effective. Please get in touch with Suzanne if you have any questions or feedback.
