Hi, Where i work the LA require staff to do 24 hours of training a week. As the setting employs quite a few staff some member of staff only work 1 or 2 sessions and because they have jobs else where they are unable to attend the training. They are all prepared to do 12-15 hours but it wouldn't be possible for them to do any more unless they do on-line courses. Does anyone know what the requirement is on part time workers.
