Belbin® Team Roles for Young People

Aurora TDS is now offering Belbin® Team Roles for young people - follow this link to find out more TR4YP.

Our courses help newly appointed prefects to answer questions such as:

How can I give the impression I'm confident, even if I'm not?

What should I do if I suspect a younger pupil is being bullied?

What should I do if someone tells me something in confidence, but I feel a teacher should know about it?

School Prefects

Research undertaken by MORI and reported in 'The Leading Edge - Leadership Potential from the Classroom to the Boardroom' (January 2005) shows a strong link between school prefects and later business success ...

"Virtually all the business leaders we spoke to had leadership roles whilst they were still at school."

Aurora TDS provides courses for school prefects.  These are at three levels, two of which are endorsed by the award of certificates which verify the standard of learning achieved.

The aim is to enable students selected as prefects to:

  • Develop the skills and personal qualities they need

  • Communicate confidently

  • Be appropriately assertive in a number of common situations

Basic course

This highly interactive and practical one day course covers the skills and qualities needed to be an effective prefect.  It emphasises the importance of communication and assertiveness skills, leadership and teamworking.   Both morning and afternoon sessions conclude with practical exercises. 

Trained Prefect course

The Trained Prefect course is similar to the basic course, but the course concludes with an essential knowledge test to establish a standard of learning achieved.  On successful completion a certificate is awarded. 

Qualified Prefect course

The Qualified Prefect course is a two day event that places greater emphasis the acquisition of individual skills and it links high quality teamworking with Belbin's Team Roles for Young People.  It concludes with an essential knowledge test and of evidence of applied learning (a post-course report).  On successful completion a certificate is awarded.
