In-house training for students' unions

If your students’ union is a member of NUS, we can deliver free training at a venue that suits you – be that your own students’ union or somewhere else altogether. This training is a great opportunity for your elected officers to turn their broader training into locally focussed action.

In-house training supplements our summer training package by providing specific training for your elected officers. The training is designed and delivered by NUS through a regional organiser (RO), who will be your union’s first point of contact throughout the year.

NUS will provide two days of in-house training to each member union. Further sessions can be requested, however, these may have to come after the summer period so that all students’ unions in your region have equal access to this training.

Benefits of in-house training

• Work better as a team
• Agree priorities and responsibilities at the start of the year

• Develop your relationship with your regional officer
