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.

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
