TUC Organising Academy 2023-24 Course Programme
We always have a very strong response for the Organising Academy Award and Diploma Course so we have now scheduled two new courses through The Manchester College.
Who is this course for?
Organising Academy courses are designed for union officers and staff directly employed by TUC affiliated unions rather than activists or reps.
I feel inspired and motivated to move forward with developing my own organising strategy for my project after taking this course
If you would like to nominate members of staff to attend any of these Organising Academy courses, please complete the registration forms below.

The Organising Academy Award in Supporting Organising
This course is for those union staff members in administrative and other support roles who would benefit from a deeper understanding of core organising practices and their implications for the way that unions operate. For many reps and members, this may be the only contact they have with paid union staff. This course, over three days, gives support colleagues the skills and knowledge needed to support organising work.
The course covers
- understanding organising
- working with members
- effective communication
New dates for the three-day course in Autumn term 2024:
8, 9 and 10 October 2024. These course dates will be delivered online.
£200 per person
We also offer unions a discounted rate for a single-union course.
To apply for either of the above course dates, please complete this online form.

Testimonials
The course has provided me with a great deal of food for thought and some steer in re-evaluating what I’m doing with my life, what’s important and what changes I need to make or consider making.
Wonderful to have the time and space to learn about history of the movement as well as modern trends in trade unionism – membership data; legislation changes and reaction; internationalism.
