Q: When?

A: The current year is 01 Oct 2010 to 30 Sep 2011, so the final deadline to record this will be 15 Oct 2011. However it is much easier to record this as you go along so please see www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/osd/recording/index.php

Please do not add events in the future to your self-directed training. For obvious reasons training can only be added retrospectively, and the system is not set up to deal with planned events for the future.

The requirement is pro rata across the year - as determined by 10 x fte per week x fraction of the year.

Examples: if you were working half time across the entire year then your requirement would be 5 days [10 x 0.5 x 1.0]; if you were working full time but only for three months of the year then your requirement would be 2.5 days [10 x 1.0 x (3/12)]; and if you were working 3.5 days a week over 9.5 months of the year your requirement would be 5.5 days [10 x (3.5/5) x (9.5/12)].

If your period as a member of staff covered by the Roberts agenda ends before the end of the year (30 Sep 2011), then you should complete your training record before you leave.
