Do I need to attend both Instructor and Manager Training?
If you are new to UAC: You will need to attend both the instructor and manager training events to complete a full induction to your role and its requirements.
If you have worked in a senior role before: You only need to attend a manager training if you have not done so before, or if you have not worked for 2 years!
If you have previously worked as an instructor and are stepping up to a manager role: You only need to attend manager training, if you have already attended an instructor training event in the past, but we recommend also attending an instructor day if you have not worked in the last 2 years to ensure you are up to date on current activities and camp life in order to best support your team!
You will be given opportunity to select your preferred instructor training event on your reply form.
