This is compulsory and if you have not completed the training you will not be added to the ballot.
As well as the compulsory e-learning training, we’ll also be hosting a series of workshops which will be an opportunity for you to get to know your fellow candidates, chat to staff and to ask any questions you may have.
These sessions are not compulsory but are in place for you to come along and access support and get feedback on your campaign in a supportive environment.
