How to Access the Online Training Package
To access the training package, you first need to register on the Governors E-Learning (GEL) website. When you register, we will be asked to verify your status as a Governor eligible to access the training. GEL will then send you a members password and you can login and begin your training. If you have not received your password within 5 working days, please Contact the Governor Support Team.
Our Governing Body Does Not Subscribe to the Governor Training Package
- Can We Access the Online Training?
Yes. The cost for Governing Bodies who do not buy into the Governor Training Package, but who wish to access the online training, is half the cost of the Governor Training Package subscription. Governors wishing to access this training, but whose school does not subscribe, should contact their Chair of Governors or Training Co-ordinator Governor. Governing Bodies who wish to purchase access to the online training package, or subscribe to the annual Governor Training Package, should Contact the Governor Support Team.
Evaluation
As we are piloting this online training package, we need your feedback in order to assess its value to Sheffield Governors. A full evaluation will be undertaken at the end of the year, but in the meantime, please take a moment after completing a training module to let us have your comments on the online training package. Please send these to Kath Rangeley at kathryn.rangeley@sheffield.gov.uk or telephone (0114) 250 6892.
Please Contact the Governor Support Team if you require any further assistance.
