Hi everyone,

I said in the last ER meeting that I would email out notes on how to run courses with the 20/20 scheme and get paid for it by City of Bristol College. It has taken me a while to get around to it, but here we go...

Ok, the thing I am involved in is called the 20/20 scheme - that's 20 quid per month per student for three hours a week contact time (I only do 2 hours class, but people are able to do one or more extra hours of practical work if they want to, so that's ok).

There are two people you can go to that I know of:

Leolie shepherd - leolie.shepherd@...But she can be very slow to get back to you and sometimes forgets things. It took months to set up my course through her, and it is still not fully sorted.

Or
katie pearce at the trinity
katie@....
She seems a lot more together than Leolie. She is working for the Trinity and one of her jobs is to organise peoples courses there, which she takes a "cut" out of their pay for - 2 quid out of every 5=40% - mafia-premium-level. She is friendly and would probably give you advice for free. If you wanted to run your course at Trinity, then you could have her as your fixer-person if you wanted to.

Maybe a good third way would be to get the lowdown from katie, then go to Leolie to get the forms and stuff and get registered, but not count on Leolie to inform you of how it works. You could ask katie if there is anyone else you could deal with at City of Bristol College, besides Leolie. And if you find out, let me know!

Good luck,

Tom.
