Two day broker training course
We are pleased to tell you that Timebanking UK will be holding a 2 day training course for new/existing timebanking Brokers on Thursday and Friday 25th and 26th February 2010. This training will be most relevant for those of you who want to know more about the role and responsibilities of a time bank broker, or for those of you new to the role, or unsure about certain areas.
This will be in central London and will be delivered by Martin Simon and Sarah Bird. The charge per person will be in time credits. (Well that was the idea but since this was posted TBUK had to make it £40 per person for the two days AND ration the training to one person per time bank. Pete 19/2.)
Please contact Sarah Bird for more information: sarahb@timebanks.co.uk

I have been asked to pay £40 for this course.
Not just for credits then. That’s a shame. Let us hope this is just a one-off glitch!

Hi Peter
Yes, the agreement was to originally have it free (for time credits) but when I had 60 replies from people wanting to attend, Martin said we would need to charge as we have to now put on a second session to cope with the numbers. I tried to explain to everyone as and when they expressed an interest and we did offer bursaries for those in a voluntary role or who had no funding available at all.
It’s been a pain in the neck to be honest – wish I’d known from the start as I certainly would not have said it was free if I knew of a chance that we would have to charge.

Sarah
I was a wee bit surprised that you have decided to charge people for this training but not advised any of the London time banks. The message I copied and placed up on our website stated that “the charge per person will be in time credits.” Good job I didn’t relay it out on our other networks!
I’ll cover the £40 fee for Priti from the Islington Time Banks Network’s training budget. Priti is free on 25th / 26th and those days are preferred. A cheque will go off to TBUK a.s.a.p. / as soon as we’ve have two signatories visit.
Best.
Peter
