Adult Training

There are a range of learning opportunities for adults in Scouting, click here to see what they are in 2010.

A training adviser or sometimes a training manager will help you plan what you need to do.

How to complete your training? -

A - Plan your learning, with your Training Adviser

1) a personal learning plan will guide you to which modules you require
2) decide together which modules you need to know more about and plan your learning; if you are confident with all the knowledge and skills for a module you may not need to complete the learning, just move straight on and try to validate it.

B - Complete your learning by your preferred method, take account of how you learn best and your lifestyle; most modules offer more than one option
1) e learning
2) online video
3) residential courses
4) module sessions
5) workbooks
6) small group work
7) one to one sessions

C - Validate your learning; using your learning in your Scouting. The Section Leader modules will be validated by your Training Adviser and the Manager & Supporter modules at open validation sessions. Assessing learning (25) by ACTM Barbara Murphy & Training Team modules (27-34) by ACTM Andrew Hill.

The training scheme for those working with young people is made up of modules that can be completed in any order but Module 1, 2 & 3 should be completed first. Our learning opportunities are structured and ordered to help you gain the most from them at the time you need them; Getting Started, Getting Going, Getting On and Getting Out.

Most adults in Scouting complete their training within two years, with the getting started completed in just a few months.
