IT, Infrastructure and Learning Differences
Having tested the online delivery of samples on both accredited and unaccredited courses, it is crucial that the student is set up appropriately and in good time before the training commences.
The learner must preferably have access to a good PC or laptop. Tablets can be used but have some limitation in our experience. Attending training courses using a mobile phone will not be allowed.
There must be a stable internet connection from where the learning is taking place.
Colleges will also be in contact before the course to advise of any additional requirements.
We would appreciate Branches / ULRs assistance in ensuring any applicants are prepared in line with the above points. If any representative encounters difficulties getting set up with IT equipment in preparation for course attendance, please advise their Branch Secretary, Union Learning Rep or the Equality, Education & Development department as soon as possible.
Additionally, upon application, please ensure that we are aware in good time of any adjustments that may need to be arranged, such as issues relating to dyslexia or sight / hearing differences.
Interim Application Process
We will shortly be launching a new Online application process which will be widely advertised and necessary training given. In the meantime Branch Secretaries should continue to email applications to courseadmin@cwu.org containing the following:
- Name of Officer/Representative
- Membership number
- Name of course
- Date of course
- Home postcode
As previously, all applicants MUST be registered as a role holder or applications will not be able to be processed.
Release & Notice
Paid release should normally apply where the union is recognised and/or in line with any existing agreements.
Please forward any enquiries relating to this LTB to courseadmin@cwu.org in the first instance.
Yours sincerely,
Kate Hudson
Head of Equality, Education & Development
