Volunteer Training
Completing training before arriving on site is a mandatory requirement when volunteering with Oxfam. This is essential for keeping you and others safe and making sure you’re confident in your role.
This year, to make training easier, more flexible, and packed with even more value, we’re launching a brand-new online training academy!
How to complete your training
If you've signed up to volunteer with us this year, you'll receive a link to the Oxfam Training Academy at least 4 weeks before your first festivals. You'll then have 2 weeks to complete your training.
Access training through an online platform
Our new online platform means you can complete your training at your own pace – no need to book a session!
Optional training opportunities
We’re offering optional extra training to help you grow your skills and knowledge. This year’s line up includes Mental Health Awareness and Drug Awareness – ideal for anyone looking to feel even more prepared and empowered on site.
Revitalised Supervisor Training
Thinking about stepping up as a supervisor? We’ve refreshed our supervisor training with new content. Anyone interested in taking on more responsibility is encouraged to take part.
Training every two years (for stewards)
To help keep everyone up to date with key info and important updates, stewards will now need to train every two years instead of three. Trained last year? Then you’re good to go for 2025!
Earn virtual badges
After each module, you’ll take a quick quiz. Pass it and you’ll unlock a virtual badge – a fun way to track your progress and show off your knowledge.
