Learner’s Resources

Moving from Training Teams and Training Advisers to Volunteering Development Teams

Learning is managed at both District and County/Area/Region level by the Volunteering Development Teams.

Volunteers with the Learning Assessor Accreditation are able to credit Volunteers learning on the digital tool.

Getting credited for Skills

The new learning is a mix of e-learning and learning experiences that take place outside of the system, for example a course delivered by a Trainer either face to face or online.

Once you have completed an e-learning course, the skill will automatically be assigned to a Learning Assessor and be credited on your learning record.

For other courses, Volunteers will need to get skills credited, based on the validation criteria for that skill.  This means that they might have to do something to demonstrate their learning and understanding.  This could be showing a certificate of attendance to a course, talk to a Learning Assessor about what they have learnt or show skills and knowledge based on experience.

To have a skill fully credited in the system, volunteers can either.

1. Assign the skill they have chosen to their training record and ask for an assessment by sending a request by clicking on the assessment button after completion. Then contact a Learning Assessor to review and sign it off, based on the appropriate evidence/ criteria

or

2. Contact a Learning Assessor, who can then assign a skill to a volunteers learning and credit it based on a review of the appropriate criteria/certificate/ attendance
