The National Student Engagement Programme, known as NStEP, will be returning to DBS to deliver its Introductory Class Rep Training for class reps in February.  If you missed the opportunity to take this training module in the Autumn, this is your chance to attend! This training is designed to introduce key concepts and practical skills to help you succeed in the role. Over 1,300 student representatives across Ireland participated in the training so far this year, and 99% say they would recommend the training to other reps!   

Reps who participate in NStEP’s Introductory Class Rep Training are issued with a digital badge for attending.  NStEP offers training and development opportunities for class reps throughout the remainder of the academic year for class reps.  By earning a set of ‘milestone’ awards, reps will be able to work toward a Student Engagement National Recognition Award.  The first milestone in this process is participating in Introductory Class Rep Training.  

Want to learn more about the training and why you should sign up?  Four of our trainers have shared their experiences at https://youtu.be/6gInX1P8NFg  

Training is peer-led by NStEP’s team of student trainers, each of whom are experienced in a variety of contexts relating to student engagement and student representation.  Visit https://studentengagement.ie/meet-the-student-trainers/ to meet NStEP’s student trainers.
