UNISON routes to learning for Workplace Representatives
This route covers a range of courses for stewards, from the core training through to the optional or specialist courses that may be useful for you in your particular workplace.
If you are a new rep then you should start with the Organising Steward course to acquire Employment Relations Act [ERA] certification, followed by the Recruitment Skills course and the Handling Grievances and Disciplinaries.
The optional courses that follow on the Workplace Reps' route will be beneficial depending on what you will need to handle in your own place of work. As a new Workplace Rep, UNISON is committed to supporting your training and development. Your branch will help you get on the relevant training courses. Branches are also encouraged to allocate you with a named contact who will be able to answer your questions, put you in touch with the information and people who can help you along the way and have a regular catch up with you as you become more active in the union.
To find out more, talk to your branch education co-ordinator or branch secretary, or download the
