Welcome to our e-module, designed to assist newly elected and co-opted councillors to understand what local councils are, what they do and how they operate.

Learning Objectives:

• What is a local council?
• What can they do?
• How do they operate?
• How are they financed?
• What role do councillors and officers play?
• What to expect at a council meeting?
• What should I do next?

Please note that when booking any e-learning course there will be a delay in receving the log in details as ALCA staff need to set up the links. Thank you.

Please be aware that although we are offering this course free to ALCA members, we incur a cost. We are allowing one year from the date of registration for you to attempt this module, but if you don't then we may need to recoup all or some of these costs. I hope you consider this to be fair.
