This course is designed for union representatives who have already completed the TUC Stage 1 Union Representatives Course or its equivalent, and who have had subsequent experience as an elected union rep.
The focus of Stage 1 training is the workplace, and the skills and knowledge needed to meet initial training needs as a new union rep. The TUC Advanced Course maintains the focus on the role of elected workplace union rep. It also encourages reps to use their experience to step back and look at the bigger picture of what it means to be a union representative.
