Disability Resource Centre (DRC)
NMA Training and Events
NMA training and events take place at the DRC. To book a place contact Carrie Roberts, Disability Support Co-ordinator (carrie.roberts@admin.cam.ac.uk or 01223 (7)66775).
Training
Training is essential for new NMAs, so that we can take you through the necessary administrative procedures and support you in your role. We also welcome current NMAs who would like some additional training and an opportunity to meet fellow NMAs and DRC staff.
Please note: It is compulsory for all Mentors to attend both the Mentor Training Days and Mentor Support Groups. Failure to attend will mean we cannot add you to our database of Mentors.
Thank You Events
We hold several NMA Thank You Events throughout the year to show appreciation for the hard work you do to support University students. These events provide learning opportunities which will enhance your work, and will enable you to socialise with other NMAs and DRC staff. There will also be a speaker presentation.
