UNISON South West learning and training
Did you know that learning is FREE for members and support for time off can be arranged for you to attend.
Every year, thousands of members develop new skills, knowledge and confidence with courses from UNISON College.
Members from each region can access courses organised by a region as well as nationally run courses.
Our Activist training programme is designed to give new and experienced activists the skills they need to carry out their roles with confidence. All courses are free for you to attend, although there may be a charge to your branch.
Training is vital to help improve workers’ rights and to deliver UNISON campaigns to improve pay and conditions, make workplaces safer and promoting equalities.
There is a mix of in-person and online events, along with a variety of options for participating in organising stewards and health and safety courses.
We offer financial support to members taking part in various educational and learning opportunities, as well as learning discounts from a number of providers. Being a UNISON member also offers access to our full member learning offer which includes a wide range of educational opportunities, both online and offline.
