Trade Union Representatives Training
The BDA Trade Union Representatives Training Programme is a 4 day programme of learning which is structured to develop all of the basic knowledge and skills a BDA trade Union representative will need. The programme is delivered by TUC tutors and is accredited.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, the BDA Trade Union initial training course for Local TU Reps will be delivered virtually across four days until further notice, using e-learning packages structured to develop the basic knowledge and skills required to represent members effectively in the workplace. Trade Union training is free to attend.
This new program has been developed in conjunction with the TUC and is delivered by professional TUC tutors. It is essential that all Reps complete all four days of this training in order to achieve accredited recognition status. Established TU reps are also encouraged to attend to refresh their skills.
The BDA Trade Union also run a programme of one day Annual Representative Development Days in each Country and in each Region in England to update Trade Union Representatives on changes in Employment Law.
