Individual E- learning Courses

    The team at LALC are excited to announce that after months of work our first ever online training resource for Councillors is up and running! The course is intended as introductory e-learning around the work of Local Councils, containing much of the information from the Councillor Training Session LALC deliver in 3 hours. This e-learning is in no way intended to replace any face to face training but has been developed to support councillors who cannot (or will not) physically attend the training we arrange.

    In addition to this, LALC are now partnering with the wonderful teams at NALC and Nimble E-learning to provide further online learning access for Clerks and Councillors.

    Delivered online by LALC and Nimble E-learning

    NOT covered by the Annual Training Scheme and subject to an additional charge of £25.00 plus VAT per participant per course.

    Payment is required prior to delegates being issued with log-in details for the training.

    Undertaking LALC’s Councillor e-learning

    The Councillor e-learning has been broken down in to the following 6 sections:

    1. The role of a Councillor 

    2. The Council

    3. Being an Employer

    4. The Community & Local Councils in the Planning Process

    5. Meeting Procedures

    6. Council Finances and Risk 

    Within each of the sections there is a wealth of information plus further reading which is essential. Once all the reading has been completed, delegates will get access to the 60-question multiple choice quiz at the end. There is no pass rate required, it is not an exam. Following completion of the multiple-choice quiz, delegates will receive a certificate of participation from LALC. This will be sent out via email and not automatically generated by the training platform.
