The Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network

The Training Team

The national Training Team was set up to provide a focus for all training needs within the organisation.

The development and publication of a National Training Scheme was the first major project undertaken and was launched in 1994. It shows how a Group Controller can optimise the skills of his group using the principles of the OMT, the Operations Management Team.

The Training Scheme has formed the basis for a series of residential courses that have been held at The Emergency Planning College at Easingwold, near York. For further details contact the training Team.

Because the Committee of Management of The Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network comprises entirely individuals who are active officers of members of their own groups, the National RAYNET Training Team is in an unique position to develop proactive training packages.

One example of a training aid is the picture game. This comprises a photograph showing four views of a particular point. The only other clues given are the direction in which the photo has been taken and the Ordnance Survey (1:50,000) map that shows the subject. We can show an example of this game.
