Learning in UNISON Yorks & Humberside
UNISON College provides a wide range of free learning and training opportunities for UNISON members
UNISON Yorks & Humberside 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 are pleased to offer a range of accredited Level 2 fully funded distance learning courses. These courses offer you the flexibility of studying from anywhere at any time that suits you.
Due to changes in funding in the West and South Yorkshire areas, where you live will determine which college you will be able to enrol with.
We have partnered with three colleges to be able to offer distance learning in our region:
- Members who live in West Yorkshire can apply to Bradford College
- Members who live in South Yorkshire can apply to The RNN Group
- Members who live in all other areas can apply to Leicester College
If you have any queries about this offer, please contact Rose on [email protected]
