Training
Course Rep training is mandatory because we want you to feel best prepared throughout the year. That is why we have created a number of flexible training options, meaning there is something for everyone.
Become a More Confident Rep
We offer Reps the opportunity to complete training.
The training covers topics such as:
- What is feedback and how to collect it
- Advice on setting boundaries and expectations
- Attending meetings
- How to get support
For more details on the sessions, please see the below events
or visit our main page here.
.Useful Resources
Over the last year, Beds SU has been developing a number of resources that Course Reps have told us they would find useful.
• Beds SU Feedback Form - for when you are submitting feedback to the SU. We recommend doing this even if you have everything under control! It allows us to keep track of activity and promote positive change.
• Feedback Report Form - whether you are able to attend the meeting or not, please gather feedback from your peers onto this report form and send over to Beds SU, no less than 2 days before the meeting. Email to help@BedsSU.co.uk.
• Course Rep Handbook - contains everything you may possible need throughout the year, including the feedback loop, other Reps and how to get support.
• Rep Checklist - contains a list of everything you need throughout the year, to help you plan your time
• SSEC meeting guidance - Everything you need to know about the School Student Experience Committee (SSEC) agenda.
• Feedback Types - a decision tree for identifying what is 'personal' feedback. Also a flowchart containing who to contact depending on what it's about.
• Rep Code of Conduct - the rules and responsibilities that come with any Rep role at Beds SU, as well as what you can expect from us.
Get Involved
Being a Course Rep should be engaging and rewarding. You will be added to the Teams site and you can get involved in the WhatsApp group if you would like to.
• WhatsApp Groups - we've got a group for that! Course Reps have their own chat.
