We want to hear about inspirational facilitators and trainers from across the UK!
You can apply yourself or you can nominate someone you work with.
The fee to apply or nominate is £30 and this goes straight into funding the awards. If you nominate someone, they do not have to pay the fee, you as the nominator have kindly done it for them!
Judging will be done based on a number of criteria relevant to the specific award.
The principles of Expert, Tailored, Engaging and Values Led are the core principles that the judges will be considering in your application. For each principle, tell us how it is demonstrated in your training.
Each category will ask you questions, which you can find here. With your chosen category in mind, tell how you weave these principles into your work.
We are completely committed to ensuring that our awards are fair and accessible to all. We also know that the community of facilitators is relatively small, and we would like to avoid any bias. For this reason application forms will not record any identifying features. We will split the application forms in half, only the parts relating to the awards questions will go to the judges.
