RSGB Training and Education Committee
invite expressions of interest from clubs
who wish to host a Train the Trainers event
during 2016. This fun one-day Saturday
course ran very successfully during 2015
and is aimed especially at licence course
tutors who are not already professional
teachers.
The RSGB ask the host club to provide
a suitable venue and tea and coffee for
delegates during the day. We provide the
course instructors and teaching materials,
and all participants receive a certificate
from the RSGB. The host club can, of course, offer as many places to their own instructors
as they wish, but we then ask them to make additional places available for instructors from
other clubs.
The ideal venue has:
• A comfortable quiet room large enough for about 25 people to work at desks or tables
• Break out areas, or corners of a suitably large room, in which four small groups can work
• A computer projector and a whiteboard
• And ideally Wi-Fi internet access. If this is not available we may be able to provide a
temporary service for the day.
If your club is interested in hosting an event in 2016 please contact Paul, G4DCV by email to
Train the Trainers
