Training Matrix and Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is compulsory that all staff complete statutory and mandatory training applicable to their job role and/or grade.

You can identify what training you need to complete by accessing and viewing the ‘EA Statutory and Mandatory Training Matrix’ which is located here under the ‘Supplementary Documents’ section. You need only complete training applicable to your job role and/or grade.

Core training is the term used to define training courses that must be completed by all staff regardless of job role and/or grade. In addition to core training, you may need to complete other statutory and mandatory training applicable to your job role and/or grade.

Please speak to your Line Manager in the first instance. If you and your Line Manager cannot determine what training you are required to complete as per your role within EA, please email [email protected]

Staff are required to refresh their training as per the frequency outlined on the ‘EA Statutory and Mandatory Training Matrix’ (located here under the ‘Supplementary Documents’ section).

The matrix outlines the frequency by which this should be refreshed as 3 years from the original completion date. The staff member will need to complete this training again on 13 April 2024 in order to remain compliant.
