Your training
credit allows you to "buy" suitable
training from Suppliers contracted by the
Department for Employment and Learning (DEL).
These Suppliers will deliver your training
throughout your time on Training for Success.
On joining Training for Success you are
entitled to expect the following under the
Participant Charter:
As a Job-Ready
participant your Supplier will:
- draw up a Personal Training Plan which
takes account of your individual needs
and aspirations. It will also detail the
appropriate steps you need to take to
achieve the milestones and qualifications
identified;
- provide continuous assessment to compare
your progress against your Personal Training
Plan;
- provide guidance and advice to help
you achieve your goals;
- arrange to provide you, without charge,
with any necessary personal equipment,
books and protective clothing (see note
below if you are an unemployed apprentice);
- ensure a safe and properly equipped
training and (where appropriate) working
environment;
- meet the cost of assessment or other
fees directly related to your Personal
Training Plan; and
- arrange (where applicable) a suitable
placement for you with an employer.
NOTE: Arrangements for the provision of
necessary personal equipment, boots and
protective clothing will be the responsibility
of you and your employer.
In addition
you have the right:
- to choose a Supplier to deliver your
training;
- to be treated with courtesy and consideration
at all times;
- to have any complaints treated sympathetically;
- to be protected against exploitation;
and
- to be protected against discrimination
on the grounds of community background,
gender, ethnicity, marital status, age,
disability, sexual orientation, political
affiliation and whether or not you have
any dependants.
Your Supplier
will expect you:
- to fully apply yourself to the training
objectives set out in your Personal Training
Plan;
- to regularly attend and to keep good
time;
- if you are forced to be absent, to let
your trainer know within 2 hours of agreed
start time;
- to behave responsibly at all times;
- to use safe working practices which
do not endanger yourself or others; and
- to take good care of any clothing and
equipment issued to you.
If you feel that the supplier is not demonstrating
its obligations under the Charter, you should
raise the matter with your supervisor. If
a complaint has not been dealt with to your
satisfaction, you should contact your local
Job Centre/Jobs & Benefits office/Careers
Office.
