Welcome to Modern Councillor
Modern Councillor, our e-learning service for elected Members, helps local authority councillors develop their skills through e-learning.
Designed for both newly elected councillors and established members seeking to increase their knowledge.
We've created Modern Councillor with help from experts in local government, so that all our courses reflect the latest initiatives and challenges facing councillors today.
A subscription to Modern Councillor gives you unlimited access to our on-line course catalogue.
Our Modern Councillor service comes complete with its own DLE so you can evidence learning as well as benefit from Web 2.0 functionality in a very easy and straightforward way.

Your Role as a Councillor
Particularly useful for newly elected councillors, this course introduces you to your role and explores your motivations for becoming a councillor. We also look at the personal attributes needed for you to be successful for your community.
The key aspects of your role as community leaders and representatives of the citizens in your wards are examined, along with how decisions are made within different councils.
You can also assess your newly-gained understanding in a practical exercise. View leaflet.
