In SNB, we prefer that members are endorsed as a Training Officer for at least 12 months before progressing on towards becoming an Assessor. Members who are interested in getting started in becoming a Training Officer should speak to their Club’s Chief Training Officer and then complete the Training Officer Expression of Interest form online.
Once the minimum qualifications are obtained, Probationary Trainers are mentored through delivering an award by an experienced member of our team prior to becoming endorsed as a Training Officer for that award.
Re-endorsement
All TAFs (Trainers, Assessors & Facilitators) are required to maintain currency in their awards and meet annual update requirements to be eligible for re-endorsement. This is to ensure they are always up to date with any changes to awards that may occur and also provides them with professional development to ensure they are “best in class”.
The Branch and SLSNSW advises all TAFs of the update requirements each year leading up to the start of the SLS season. Once all updates have been completed each season, TAFs must then re-endorse using an online form accessible via their Members Area accounts.
TAFs who are seeking re-endorsement after some years of absence can contact the Branch office for advice.
Mentoring
Mentors must be endorsed TAFs for at least 12 months before applying to be inducted into this role. TAFs who are interested should contact the Branch office for further information.
