Representative Training

If you have any questions about which training is best for you, please get in touch at representation@imperial.ac.uk.

If you are a newly elected rep, you must attend a compulsory induction for your role. The sessions are:

1. Representation Essentials
2. Effective Meetings and Chairing Training

This session will be an overview of Representation at ICU and will allow reps to learn about the roles and responsibilities they will undertake. It's a great opportunity to network with other reps as well as staff from the Union and Imperial.

• Academic Year Reps
• Wellbeing Departmental Reps
• Wellbeing Faculty Reps
• Wellbeing Year Reps
• Constituent Union Presidents

Postgraduate:

Undergraduate Department and Faculty Reps, and Postgraduate Representation Chairs, AWOs and Department Reps will need to attend this session.

This will be delivered live as well as pre-recorded. This session provides an overview of the types of meetings reps will attend with some tips on best practice for engaging in meetings and chairing effectively.

Horizons Reps

There will be separate training sessions for Horizons Representatives which will happen later due to the Elections being later. This page will be updated as the process for this Elections gets finalised. If you are a Horizons Rep, you can expect to receive the same training as all other Representatives.
