Training funds
Whitcombe Training Fund
SfEP was Norma Whitcombe's baby; she was its founder and first chair. "I needed a challenge. My challenge for 1988 was setting up the Society." Norma had amazing energy, drive and foresight, and SfEP training was her idea. This fund underwrites the creation of new courses. It has also been used to help run courses, support mentoring and develop the accreditation and registration schemes – all of which enhance members' skills and employability.
You can make a donation when you renew your subscription (from 1 March) or at any time by logging in to the Members' area of this website and then clicking 'Renew your subscription/Make a donation' under 'Your SfEP'.
Dorothy Mitchell Smith Memorial Fund
Dorothy was SfEP training administrator for courses in Scotland and the north of England. A gifted tutor with high standards, she was generous with her time, knowledge and guidance. This fund helps beginners all over the country to fund their training.
All new associates are given two dated vouchers – worth £20 each – to be used within the first two years of their Society membership. Each voucher can be set against the cost of one SfEP training course in each of these two years. To use a voucher, please select 'Yes' at the relevant point on the online course booking form.
You can make a donation when you renew your subscription (from 1 March) or at any time by logging in to the Members' area of this website and then clicking 'Renew your subscription/Make a donation' under 'Your SfEP'.
