There is an error in the e-mail sent yesterday regarding the dates for the additional Supervisor training on online SI-PASS during the spring 2021. The training is given 13-15 April 2021 (and NOT 22-24 March 2021 as was stated in the previous e-mail). My apologies for the mistake.
More information on additional/advanced supervisor trainings plus registration can be found on the European Centre for SI-PASS web-site: www.si-pass.lu.se/en<http://www.si-pass.lu.se/en>

Subject: Additional/advanced trainings for SI-PASS Supervisors
We are delighted that the first online Supervisor training in January was a success with positive feedback from the participants (there is still a spot available in the March training and a few in the April training - see www.si-pass.lu.se/en<http://www.si-pass.lu.se/en> for registration). Besides these initial Supervisor trainings there are now three different additional/advanced supervisor trainings open for registration. The additional trainings are based on feedback from you as Supervisors and supplement the initial training. The trainings will be held in English and address the following topics:
· Additional Supervisor training: SI-PASS online. This training has been developed in response to COVID-19, but It is anticipated that many will continue to run a mixture of face to face and online SI-PASS. Therefore this workshop will explore ways to translate the model into online settings and the tools, techniques and strategies used.
· Additional Supervisor training: Quality Assurance SI-PASS programmes. It is essential that SI-PASS programmes have quality processes in place. To supplement the SI-PASS Supervisor training course this interactive workshop provides laser focus on the variety of quality assurance mechanisms to maintain and enhance your SI-PASS programme.
· Additional Supervisor training: Designing and Developing Leader training. Whether you are new to Leader training or you have been delivering training for many years, this fun and interactive workshop will facilitate sharing of practice, designing and refining SI-PASS Leader training.
The schedule for Supervisor trainings during spring 2021 is as follows:
· Initial Supervisor trainings: 2-5 March & 20-23 April 2021
· Additional Supervisor training: SI-PASS online: 22-24 March 2021
· Additional Supervisor training: Quality assurance of SI-PASS programmes: 4-5 May 2021
· Additional Supervisor training: Designing and Developing Leader training: 14-15 + 17-18 June 2021 (four half days)

We now have scheduled further Supervisor trainings on March 2nd to 5th and on April 20th to 23rd. The trainings will be held in English. This comprehensive course will cover what SI-PASS is, how it works and how it can be implemented at a higher education institution (including making a budget, selecting suitable courses that can be supported by SI-PASS, recruiting and training SI Leaders, following up and evaluating the programme).
