Process
The Train The Trainer process comprises of three stages.
Assessment against Criteria
In order to become a EUSR Trainer it is expected prospective trainers meet the criteria for each particular scheme they wish to train for.
The Course material can be delivered by most proficient trainers, however EUSR set the following criteria so that trainers' are able to put the course material in context, and for example, talk knowledgeably about the Health and Safety issues in the appropriate industry environment, as it is considered this adds significant value for the trainees.
- Knowledge, Experience and understating of current working practices in field operations in the relevant industry
- Experience of training or presenting
- Other requirements that vary by scheme
In order to demonstrate and evidence this, prospective trainers are required to complete a CV submission form and compile a CV detailing roles, responsibilities and qualifications held which demonstrate that they meet the criteria. This should be sent to training@euskills.co.uk.
C.V.'s will be assessed by our industry representative and prospective trainers' will be contacted within 14 days. Successful applicants will be sent a list of available dates for the Train The Trainer course and a booking form which must be returned with the appropriate payment in order to secure a place.
Completion of a CV Submission Form and a CV for approval is required by Trainers who are already approved to deliver EUSR courses and who wish to train for additional schemes.
Train The Trainer Day
The Train The Trainer courses take place at our offices in Solihull and have a duration of approximately half a working day. The day includes development of training skills and covers the scheme content and delivery methodology. All course materials are issued, and guidance is given for administration of the registration process. On this day, trainers' are required to sign a Trainer Code of Practice and can choose to have their details displayed on the EUSR website in order to be contacted by companies and individuals seeking a training provider.
Field Approval
A EUSR Approver will, with prior arrangement, observe a training session and offer feedback based on the delivery technique. The Field Approval is conducted to ensure trainers operate and deliver courses in accordance with EUSR specifications and standards. We recommend that trainers' deliver the course a couple of times before undertaking the Field Approval to ensure familiarity with the course material. The Field Approval should be scheduled, by the trainer, after delivering 3 training courses, or within six months of attending the Train The Trainer session, whichever comes sooner. A successful Field Approval is required in order to continue training, upon which, Trainers' will be issued with an Approved Trainer EUSR card.
