Governor Training – Governors of Catholic Schools free online training
The Catholic Education Service (CES) has developed online training modules to support all governors, that are free to enrol for and complete.
The first two modules ‘An Introduction to Catholic Education’ and ‘The Environment and Language of Catholic Education’ are on the CES Formatio Virtual Learning Environment website: http://formatio-ces.org/moodle/login/index.php. This training can be undertaken in the comfort of your own home at a convenient time for you and all governors are encouraged to undertake it to help them in their governor role.
