CHESHIRE, WARRINGTON AND LANCASHIRE “TRAIN THE TRAINER” PROJECT

Introduction
The Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire Train the Trainer Project supports the growth of the learning and skills workforce in the area and is funded by the European Social Fund. The Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire Train the Trainer Project provides a training service to individuals who want to train as NVQ Assessors or Verifiers and work with training providers in the region who need to recruit high quality skilled and trained staff to deliver their Learning and Skills Council funded training programmes. The Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire Train the Trainer Project is committed to delivering a superior training programme for Assessors and Verifiers.

The Offer
High quality Assessor and Verifier training will be provided to 177 Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire based individuals who have vocational experience across a broad range of trade and skills sectors. There is a constant demand for experienced staff to pass on their skills to learners and this programme will help them to do this. Each of these individuals will need to be mentored and supported by a Learning Centre and have access to at least two Registered NVQ learners. The training is free and provides each trainee with a nationally recognised Assessor/Verifier qualification and additional support in the use of technology to aid learner progression that also ensures each person has a well rounded and useful training experience.

How it works
Training:
177fully funded training places are being provided. Some of these are for people looking for a new career as an Assessor in the Work Based Learning Sector or for Assessors looking to further develop their career by training as an Internal Verifier. The training is delivered by an organisation that has a successful record in delivery within the London Assessor Project, having delivered over 143 assessor and verifier awards in 11 months, in 2009/10.
The training consists of real-time virtual classes that go through the theory of assessment, the assessment cycle, standardisation and quality assurance, CPD and electronic vs. paper portfolios. There is then a period of one to one support whilst trainees collect their evidence for their award.

Information, Advice and Guidance
The Learning and Skills Council/ ESF funds the Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire Assessor Project and works in partnership to ensure Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire’s ongoing skills requirements are being met.

The North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce has announced that businesses in Lancashire have access to funding for training in management development related subjects.

- up to 7 leaders/key managers in organisations employing between 5 and 249 people and a maximum of £7000

- up to 6 leaders/key managers in organisations employing between 250 - 999 employees and a maximum of £6000

The first grant of £500 (of the full £1,000 of grant support available per individual) is fully funded and must benefit the leader/key manager. The remaining grant of £500 must be match funded by the employer. No individual manager can receive more than £1,000 of grant support. The funding is only available for management development activity and does not cover technical, mandatory or IT training.

For multiple managers within a company the first full grant available (£1000 - the first £500 and the second matched £500) must be completely used before further grants are made available within the company. If the MD/ key manager has received similar funding in the past they will not be eligible but other managers within the company will be. For more information on what is available for businesses looking for management development training please contact Nichola Bamber on 01772 653 000 or email nicholab@lancschamber.co.uk
