2.3 Training Policy

Purpose

This policy aims to identify and clearly state the procedure for assessing staff competencies, the correct training procedures and records that must be maintained, the steps to be followed when organising or participating in learning and development activities, and the methods used for reviewing the effectiveness of training.

Policy 

Training is an ongoing process of working with people to improve their performance, ensure ethical practice, enhance their potential and allow growth in knowledge and experience. Glin National College actively encourages its staff to participate in training and development, and it offers training opportunities to upskill people in the context of their jobs and in line with their personal growth. 

Evaluation of Learning and Development

All learning and development courses will be evaluated to establish the appropriateness of the course to the end objective.

Both in-house and external courses are evaluated for their effectiveness. This information is discussed approximately two months after training between staff members and the Manager, and this is entered into the training evaluation form.
