Registration guidance

Guidance on completing the registration form

Please follow these guidance notes when completing the registration form.

The information we display on each of the trainers and consultants is presented in the same format.

Unless you decide to change your information, it remains valid for one year.

1. Your contact details

There are spaces for you to insert two addresses. In the first address space please insert the contact details you wish to appear on your website entry. The space below is for your correspondence address (if this is different) and will not be visible on the website. Please be careful to enter your email address correctly.

2. Regions covered and services offered

Trainers and Consultants Direct has several search facilities, enabling users to tailor their search to specific regions and/or specialisms, and to cross-reference. Indicate in the relevant box the region(s) in which you are prepared to work, and each of the services you offer.

3. Your charges, qualifications and recent work

Search options allow users to access trainers and consultants in any number of ways. Filling in these sections appropriately will ensure you are not excluded from any complex search.

  • Minimum daily fee: Please indicate your minimum daily fee. As this field can be used as a search criterion, please be as accurate as possible.

  • Daily fee/charging policy: In no more than 25 words please indicate your daily fee and charging policy here. For example £200 - £400 per day, plus travel expenses.

  • In the relevant box, indicate whether or not you operate a sliding scale and/or if your fees are negotiable.

  • In no more than 35 words, please list any relevant qualifications, membership of professional bodies or experience, including work as an NVQ assessor, Open College Network moderator, mediator training etc.

  • In no more than 40 words, please list a range of organisations with which you have worked. As this information will be published, it is advisable to inform the organisations you are listing.

  • 4. Your areas of expertise

    Although you may provide training and consultancy on a wide range of topics, please choose the 10 that best reflect your particular expertise.

    5. Other areas of expertise

    Any additional specialist topics can be listed here. The details you provide will not be visible on your individual page, however your name will be listed in search results when a text match is found using the 'other areas of expertise' field on the multi-field search page. We may include the most popular specialist topics within the main categories on future registration forms.

    6. Personal profile

    This is the section where you get the opportunity to give a broader description of yourself and the type of work you do. Please ensure that you check all spelling before you send your form to us. The statement should be no more than 150 words.

    7. Administration and pricing

    The information we collect here is for internal administration processes.

  • Charges The charge covers registration (excluding Featured Provider) for a one year period from the date your details are uploaded to the website.
  • There are two price bands: one for individuals (£65)* and one for organisations/companies/partnerships (£125)*. The company price is approximately double that of the individual price, as there may be several trainers or consultants amongst whom the cost might be distributed. Companies that only have two trainers and/or consultants may decide that their £125 would be better spent by taking out two individual registrations. Check the relevant box to indicate which refers to you.

  • By what name do you wish to be listed on the website? We need to know whether you wish to be listed under your personal name or under the organisation/company name, as only one name may appear at the top of your page on the website. Check the relevant box to indicate which you prefer.

  • *Members, friends and affiliates of NAVCA are eligible for a 25% discount.


  • Featured Provider This facility enables you to feature yourself/your organisation throughout the website (excluding the registration form and the diversity monitoring form page) for one month at a cost of £79 including VAT. Select this box if you would like to receive further information and a member of staff will contact you. Please note, this fee is not eligible for the discount mentioned above.

  • Logo Each individual page includes space for your logo. Click the appropriate box if you wish to use this facility.


  • To submit your logo, please email it to tcd@navca.org.uk in either a .jpg or .gif file ONLY. It should be no larger than 120 pixels in width and 480 pixels in height (portrait). If your logo is larger than these dimensions it will be proportionately resized. Logos submitted on paper will not be accepted. Please check this box if you will be emailing your logo to us.

  • Statement of values and equal opportunities We require all trainers and consultants to agree with and abide by our Statement of Values and Equal Opportunities. Please make sure that all trainers have a copy of the Statement for information. Check the box to confirm that you/your organisation agree(s) with the Statement.

  • Total amount/cheque enclosed Please insert the total amount of the cheque you are forwarding to NAVCA. Cheques should be made payable to NAVCA.

  • Your information will be included on the website once we have received payment. We will notify you by email to confirm that this has been done.

    Please date your application and submit your form.
