Business case for membership

A growing number of current and potential members have asked for details of the benefits for membership of the Association. To this end we have created a page on our .info site that I will keep updated on what you get.

 

If you are considering membership or renewal and want to see just how much value there is in being part of the Association please visit the Business Case page.

 

And an announcement will be made shortly regarding a major campaign aimed at getting more purchasers to use members' more.

Opportunities

Opportunities posted recently include:

  • E-Learning Services
  • Training Centre Manager
  • Specialist training services
  • Management training services

Please do be aware that some opportunities are posted and then removed before they appear in the weekly update. It is advisable to check the site periodically as I do not always send out alerts. If you know of a friend who would be interested in any of the opportunities posted on the site, please feel free to forward them this email (not give them details of the opportunities) and ask them to use this referral code when joining the site: - TB21!*USERID*!07. You will be rewarded for referring the friend.

 

When considering applying for an opportunity, members should check the requirements including; Subject, Sector Skills and Level Experience. If you do not match the requirement you should not apply for the opportunity, this practice is becoming very unpopular amongst purchasers and other trainers.

 

If you are interested in using this facility as a way of sourcing independent contractors but are not sure about the best way to approach it, please feel free to email info@trainerbase.co.uk.

 

Notice:

Opportunities are restricted information for subscribers only and must not be distributed to non paying members or associate groups.
