Management Committee Training Portal

Elevate your management committee knowledge with our self-paced learning portal

Committee members often change annually, leading to a constant need to rebuild knowledge for the upcoming year. Moreover, many volunteers on management committees are pressed for time, and may find it challenging to comprehend and apply crucial information amidst their busy schedules. 

That's where CELA's Management Committee Training Portal comes in. 

Our portal is designed to address the unique challenges faced by management committees.

4 reasons to enrol today:

1. Time-efficient learning
Recognising that management committee volunteers often have limited time, our e-learning portal breaks down information into manageable sections, promoting progressive learning at your own pace.
2. All-in-one resource library
No more hopping between different sources and websites. Our resource library consolidates everything you need, directly correlating with the module content. 
3. Clarify roles and responsibilities
Beyond understanding the role of management committees, it's essential to grasp the duties of other key team members like directors, nominated supervisors, and educators. Our portal sheds light on these roles, ensuring everyone is on the same page. 
4. Demystify the NQF
Dive deep into the National Quality Framework (NQF) with us. From roles and acronyms to assessment, rating, and a thorough look into the laws and regulations, we've got you covered. Plus, our templates and resources make understanding these concepts tangible and actionable.
