LEADER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
The Region will run numerous courses through the duration of the
year. The courses will be held in various locations across the Region.
These will be rotated around the Region on an annual basis. Below
is a list of the ones currently on the calendar. The venue of of
the courses are detailed against each one.
Getting Started Courses - These are the responsibility of the District. Once you have your provisional warrant your Training Advise or ADC(Adult Training) should be in touch with you to start your training. If no-one gets to touch make contact with your ADC(AT) and they will be able to help you.
First Aid - Every leader must have a current first aid qualification.
The minimum requirement is Module 10 - First Response. The Districts
will organise these courses. The Regional Training Team will organise
some full 4 day First Aid Courses. Details of these are given below.
Scottish Courses - As well as the courses run within the Region, the opportunity also exists for leaders to attend any training course anywhere in Scotland or at Gilwell.

Not sure what the modules are about - have a look at the Module Matrix. It explains which Modules apply to you as a Leader in your specific Role and gives a brief description.
The Training Team have found it necessary to impose
a closing date for course applications to enable them to ensure that the
necessary level of resources are available for those attending each course.
Leaders should send their application and money to arrive at least
4 weeks before the course
Regional Training Newsletter
The Regional Training Team periodically issues a Training Diary. The
latest edition is available here.
Applying for a Course
The generic Course Application form for the South West Regional Scout
Council Courses can be downloaded on the link below. Print it off, complete
the form for the course you wish to undertake and send the form to the
Course Director. These can be found against the courses and the addresses
are on the form. Please ensure you allow sufficient 4 weeks for the form
to arrive before the closing date of the course.
COST - Leaders should not have to pay for sourses. The cost should be met by the group or, in some cases, the district. As of 2009/10 districts will be billed for the cost of the course and they will then bill the groups as there is no need to send money with the application.
