Expand your skills and knowledge

Unison has launched a new training partnership with The Skills Network, offering funded qualifications via distance learning.

What is distance learning?

Distance learning is a way of learning remotely without attending lessons in a classroom or having regular face to face contact with a Tutor.
This means you can study at your own pace, in your own home, at a time that suits you, with the freedom to revisit areas of the course as little
or as much as you like without having to keep the same pace as others. Relevant courses are recognised by the SSSC and count towards the mandatory CPD for the year.

PLEASE NOTE: To qualify for funding you must be aged 16 or over, reside in Scotland and have been living in the EU for at least the last three years. You cannot enrol onto a course that you have already completed
