Welcome to the new 2008 Regional Education Programme. Once again we have endeavoured to offer courses to suit everyone, as Lifelong Learning is still high on our agenda.
The education programme is designed to help you get the education and training you need to be active in UNISON. The aim of the training is to help you in whatever union role you have whether you are starting out, or taking on a new role, or have been involved for some time.

If you have recently become a UNISON Steward, Health & Safety Rep, or Union Learner Rep then you’re probably feeling slightly anxious about what you have let yourself in for. Don’t panic! UNISON education and training is here to help you develop the knowledge, skills and confidence you will need in your new role. The Passport to Learning scheme gives all Reps a clear programme of training which is easy to follow and can be done at a pace to suit each individual.
