Student Group Training is the big training period during which we train the newly elected committees for the following academic year. These training sessions have all the key information you need to run your group and ensure your group has a productive and fun year! It's also the perfect opportunity to get to know the SU team as well as ask any burning questions you may have. We have also attached an FAQ document for you to read too if you wish!
Some of the training sessions are role-specific, but others are open to all committee members and present an amazing opportunity to get involved and learn the best way to handle your group.
