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 password and you will be able to log in and begin your training. If you do not receive a password within 5 working days, please Contact the Governor Support Team.
Our Governing Body Does Not Subscribe to the Governor Training Package - Can We Still Access the Online Training?
Yes, you can. The cost for Governing Bodies who do not buy into the Governor Training Package, but who wish to access 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.
