Learning for Members
Each year over 2000 learners take part in some form of learning through UNISON’s member learning offer. This might be though our annual learning programme or organised more locally by Union Learning Reps (ULRs)
Below you will find the 2019 Education Programme which sets out courses run by the Region and are free to UNISON members.
On this page, you will also find links to details about additional courses organised by branches near you. Plus information about bursaries and grants.
A network of Union Learning Reps (ULRs) help promote these courses, and even set up courses where you live. We always need ULRs. If you are interested please have a look at the video on this page and get in touch.
