Equality Reps Courses

EIS Equality Reps must undertake training which is carried out by the TUC. 

The module covers the equality agenda broadly as it applies to teachers and how Equality Reps fit within EIS structures.

The course is carried out over four separate days and on completion the Equality Rep will have an SCQF Level 6 qualification.

The next Stage 1 course has been provisionally scheduled for the below dates:

Stage 1, Day 1 – Friday 24th April 2026

Stage 1, Day 2 – Friday 29th May 2026

Each training day runs from 9am-4pm. At present, it is expected that both training days will run in-person, at Edinburgh HQ (46 Moray Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6BH).

Stage 2 training dates are TBC and are likely to take place early in the next session.

If you are interested in training to become an EIS Equality Rep, please contact your Local Association or Branch Secretary.

Local Associations and Branches who do not currently have an Equality Rep in post or in training are particularly encouraged to identify a member to take part in the next round of Stage 1 training.
