Making the most of your ‘Training
Passport’
- There are enough ‘passports’ for every member of staff –
if you don’t have sufficient for your team then please give the
office a call to arrange additional copies being posted to
you
- The ‘passport’ is the property of the member of staff – not the
setting!
- The first page gives you the space to log your qualification
journey – your very own pathway to progression, “every
qualification you achieve another door will open”
- When a short course is attended the passport should be taken
along to be completed by the delegate & the trainer – the
impact on practice is the measureable outcome, how has the course
made a difference? What is the first thing you will return
and implement?
- Continued professional development (CPD) is essential, this
booklet will give each staff member an at a glance
training log, with outcomes – a really effective method of being a
self-reflective practitioner
- On return to the setting, at the next staff team meeting,
course information should be shared with colleagues – handouts,
ideas of improvement etc..
- The Manager will then countersign the ‘passport’ to evidence
that information has been understood and cascaded – the course then
has benefitted the whole team not just the individual that
attended!
- The aim is that this ‘passport’ will be used consistently with
the whole of the early years workforce within the County by April
