TU Learner Testimonials

 

The tutors here are knowledgeable and draw on their own experiences in the lessons, which is invaluable and the learning materials have been really good too.

 

I’ve had plenty of opportunity for putting what I’ve learnt into practice and the course has given me the confidence to influence change in a constructive way at work. 

 

I would definitely recommend WEA courses to anyone who is or about to become a TU Rep.

I’ve been a TU member since leaving school and only became a TU Rep fairly recently.
 

What’s been really good for me about this course, is meeting up with like minded people from other industries and being able to share ideas and experiences with them.

 

I’ve enjoyed learning about the tribunal process as we visited an actual tribunal as part of the course. The legislation aspect of the course has also been valuable and given me more confidence with TU matters at work.

 

Staff at the WEA have been really helpful and I’ve even learnt some basic IT skills while I've been here. I wish I’d done something like this ten years ago.

There’s been a good mix of people from different backgrounds and industries on this course.

 

The learning environment is informal and conducive to learning and the guest speakers that have come to talk to us have been well informed and from the real world, this has been a highlight for me. The law aspect of the course has also been very interesting.

The course has helped me as a Rep to influence change at work and to engage with people in the workplace.

 

I've had no problems with getting time off from work to do this course and I would definitely recommend it to colleagues or anyone else who is thinking about becoming a TU Rep.

I’ve been learning with the WEA for about 12 years on-and-off.

 

The current course has helped me with things like negotiation at work, kept me up-to-date with legislation and helped my confidence when dealing with various issues at work. I’ve also been able to give advice to others as the training provided by the course has been really thorough.

The quality and resources here have all been really good and the WEA have been easy to approach about any issues.

 

 I’ve really enjoyed this course and I would definitely return for another course in the future.
