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 our temporary (until Autumn 2021) guide to online courses plus the 2020 Education Programme which sets out courses run by the Region and are free to UNISON members.
You will also find links to details about additional courses organised by Union Learning Reps, and information about accessible free online courses provided by other organisations.
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 find out more below and do get in touch.
