The National Student Engagement Programme, known as NStEP, will be delivering its Introductory Class Rep Training for class reps online at Dublin Business School on the 10th and 18th February. This training is designed to introduce key concepts and practical skills to help you succeed in the role. Over 8,000 student representatives across Ireland have received NStEP training, and 99% said they would recommend the training to other reps!
Who should sign up for this training?
This training is ideal for class reps in their first year of the role, or reps who did not complete NStEP Introductory Class Rep Training last year. However, even if you did complete this training last year, you are welcome to sign up and participate again as a ‘refresher’ if you wish!
I am a returning rep, and already completed NStEP Introductory Class Rep Training. Is there a different training I can take?
Yes! NStEP offers an Advanced Class Rep Training option for returning reps who have experience in the role, and who previously completed Introductory Class Rep Training. NStEP also offers a Representing Diversity Training to help you represent your diverse peers and get them involved. To sign up for either of these training modules, visit here.
