Training for NERC Peer Review College members

We provide our college members with a training handbook that provides details of:

  • the NERC peer review process
  • the roles they are invited to fulfil
  • how they fit into that process
  • how their input is helpful in reaching sound decisions

The training can be used as an induction for new members and a refresher for those that have been members for a longer period of time.

All college members are encouraged to complete the training before beginning their reviewing activities. The training is updated in line with current NERC policy and process, we therefore ask NERC college members to revisit the handbook to ensure their knowledge is up to date. The document is a live document which will be updated continuously with our current policy and processes. Access the handbook online rather than downloading a copy, which may not reflect updated policy.

If you have feedback on the current training or feel there are areas we should provide further guidance on, contact the College Team on college@nerc.ukri.org.
