Opportunities

Opportunities posted recently include:

Please do be aware that some opportunities are posted and then removed before they appear in the weekly update. It is advisable to check the site periodically as I do not always send out alerts. If you know of a friend who would be interested in any of the opportunities posted on the site, please feel free to forward them this email (not give them details of the opportunities) and ask them to use this referral code when joining the site: - TB21!*USERID*!07. You will be rewarded for referring the friend.

 

When considering applying for an opportunity, members should check the requirements including; Subject, Sector Skills and Level Experience. If you do not match the requirement you should not apply for the opportunity, this practice is becoming very unpopular amongst purchasers and other trainers.

 

If you are interested in using this facility as a way of sourcing independent contractors but are not sure about the best way to approach it, please feel free to email info@trainerbase.co.uk.

 

Notice:

Opportunities are restricted information for subscribers only and must not be distributed to non paying members or associate groups.

Raising the Standard

A question for purchasers of training.

What will give you confidence that the freelance trainer you are considering engaging will provide a return on investment or expectation?

 

The TrainerBase Standard

The TrainerBase Standard is the first ‘occupational’ standard specifically developed to measure the full range of competence and behaviours expected of an independent learning and development practitioner. Purchasers have commented “This is long overdue”.

 

200 Years of Expertise

The TrainerBase Standard was drawn up by a highly experienced team of learning and development professionals with close to 200 years of combined expertise.

 

Proof of Competence

And this is why the TrainerBase Standard and the Certified Learning Practitioner (CLP) accreditation is so beneficial to purchasers of training: a CLP has proved that they are fully competent.

 

Essential Principles

The TrainerBase Standard has three Principles essential for purchaser requirements:

  • The Personal Principle covers ethical practice, effective communication and relationship building and Professional Development.
  • The Operational Principle covers best practice from advice through design and delivery to evaluation of learning activities and processes.
  • The Commercial Principle covers business planning, running a commercial entity and monitoring ongoing business success.

Purchaser Confidence

Why are the Principles so important? Because you as a purchaser need the confidence to engage with reliable competent professionals who have evidenced that they know what they are doing.

 

Current CLPs

Purchasers of training and development services can be assured that the following members will meet agreed objectives.

 

Helen Howard, Valerie Fawcett, Marion Parris, Melanie Lisney, Michelle McArthur, Kathey Bailey, Toni Johnson, Andrew Miller, Mike Mortby, Mike Morrison, Dominic Demolder, Charlotte Mannion, Heather Girling, Steve Rouse, Jooli Atkins and Jan Brause.
 

For more information on how you can adopt and use The TrainerBase Standard as a way of ensuring you meet your training objectives please call: 01239 711544 or visit www.trainerbase.co.uk/thestandard
