New Course Application Process
The Equality, Education and Development Department are today launching a new “Course Application” process.
Having tested the system, we believe that Branches will benefit from its “user friendly” application and a more streamlined approach.
Aims of the changes include the system becoming as paperless as possible, replacing the old application form and utilising the Online Services System (OLS).
A specific section of OLS which only Branch Secretaries (or others they nominate) can access has been designed. This maintains Branch Secretary Authority as the only person able to apply for a course on a representative’s behalf.
To make the most of the system we ask that Branch Secretaries as a matter of urgency:
a. Make sure their Officer/Representatives data is up to date
b. All Officer/Representatives email addresses held on the OLS are accurate. (The system will rely on these as the point of contact for applicants).
I would like to place on record our thanks to Matt Edwards (Membership System Administrator) for his help in developing this system.
To further assist attached below is a short video for Branch Secretaries that gives an overview on how the new system works.
Any enquiries on the new course application process should be sent to equality&education@cwu.org
Yours sincerely,
Kate Hudson
Head of Equality, Education & Development
