Dear Colleague
RMT TRADE UNION EDUCATION PROGRAMME 2023 UPDATED.
Further to circular ED/001/1122 dated 21st November 2022 I am pleased to confirm that an updated version of RMT Trade Union Education Programme for 2023 will go live on Thursday 22nd December 2022. This programme will be delivered at the Bob Crow National Education Centre (BCNEC) in Doncaster.
The remainder of the course programme covering regional and online courses should be ready in the new year.
The reason for the incremental outline of the programme is to reflect some of the feedback received and to facilitate gradual changes to our education programme.

Members should apply via the RMT website - Log on or Register, click on e-membership, top right, this brings up a list on the left, right at the bottom is RMT Training Courses, click and this brings up all available courses in date order.

When considering course applications, Branch Secretaries should discuss with the applicant how the course will help them in their current role/activity or the role/activity they intend to undertake. Branch Secretaries will be notified via email when online applications are submitted.

It would also be helpful if all Regions could ensure they are represented on the National Education Advisory Committee. Do contact Michael Cudjoe, National Education Manager, (m.cudjoe@rmt.org.uk) to advise whether you have an Education Officer and who your delegate is for the National Education Advisory Committee.
Yours Sincerely
