The Fórsa Skills Academy regularly runs trainings for our workplace representatives.

There are two levels: Foundational Training is for new reps, and Expanded Training is for those who already have some experience. Read on for further details and upcoming dates.

The Foundational Workplace Representative Training programme is a three-day course for newly elected workplace representatives, or those with less than 2 years representative experience and have never received Fórsa training previously (except for the Fórsa101 information session).

It covers all the basic skills and information that new representatives require to have confidence in the role and get them through their first year.

You can sign up for the Foundational training programme here.
