Attending the Training Days

FRU runs a series of training days throughout the year. These are one-day events to introduce you to the relevant area of law and to explain tribunal procedure and how volunteering for FRU works.

Social Security and Employment run separate training days. If you wish to do both types of cases, you will need to attend both days.

The fee for the training day is £30 for students, paralegals and those working in the charity sector and £60 for others who are employed. There are no fees payable for the later stages in the ratification process.

When is the next training day?

The next set of training days will be in the autumn, and booking will open in September or October.

To book your place, you need to log on to the volunteer page.  Those who have already registered as an existing user on our website should follow the Existing User dialogue.  If you are not sure whether you have registered or not, click on "Forgotten Password" and follow the dialogue: if you receive the message "invalid email address" you will need to register (or use a different email address if you have one).

You can register below for an email notification of future training dates.  You will receive the email notification as soon as the dates are finalised.

We normally run six training days each year; three social security and three employment.  In general there will be days in the autumn (September-October), winter (December-February) and summer (May-July).  Specific dates will not be confirmed until 3-4 weeks before the day itself.

Those who are unable, for religious reasons, to attend on a saturday should send an email explaining they are unable to attend the training day and which area of law they wish to train in.  Please fill in the email form on the contact us page.
