Completing mandatory training

Completing mandatory training

During the 6 months before nominating, all candidates (including sitting councillors) must complete a free mandatory training course conducted by the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DSDILGP).

So you want to be a councillor? will take about 90 minutes to complete. You can complete the training all at once or over several sessions. Each section is 10-15 minutes long.

The training can be completed on a computer or mobile device, but it will be easiest to complete on a computer. There are video and audio components.

A certificate will be available for download after successfully completed the mandatory training. The reference number on the certificate must be included on the candidate’s nomination form as proof of completing the course.
