my boss wants me to go on a course, I don't want to waste my time AIBU?

As you do the training yourself, I assume you're familiar with the legal requirements around it. So check whether it actually is mandatory for someone in your position. If it isn't, provide chapter and verse to your employers and tell them you won't be going.

Could you explain to your bos about the travel and ask if you can log in remotely from your office to join the training

Clearly it’s a waste of time. I’d argue it and if necessary get my previous boss whom I worked for when I produced that material to note that my mandatory training in that subject was completed.

No no no you don’t have to suck it up

as others have said - reasonable adjustments.

It’s quite unreasonable and stressful for you to have to piss about for a non legally required 3 hour course - that you wrote and trained the course leader in - absolutely bloody ridiculous. It’s putting you at a disadvantage because of the additional hassle the travelling has for you for something completely unnecessary

either you do it via teams or you don’t do it all

boss may not have considered this but tell him that you can’t go to course in person and you need a reasonable adjustment.

A) Does your boss know you wrote the course, used to give the course, and you trained the present trainer?

B) You make it sound as though it would cost you money. If it's a company training course, they should pay all your expenses!

C) If it's mandatory for all staff, then it's mandatory, however bloidy stupid that is. If you HAVE to attend, treat it as a day off, take a book to read on the train, make sure you get expenses to cover all food and travel, and enjoy the trainer squirming in embarrassment when he/she realises you are in the audience.

Yabu. It’s mandatory and your boss told you to go. Go.

I don’t disagree with your logic but you don’t make the rules here.

Yes if it's mandatory you need to go! Mandatory training is usually the sort that you go on a refresher for every year. If you used to deliver the course you should ace it. Just have it as an easy day.

Oh op, this is really shitty! No, I would not be going! The travelling sounds stressful and utterly unpleasant and the reasons for you to attend ridiculous. The request is completely unreasonable and if once explained my boss didn't get that, then I would escalate it higher. Please do not attend. If the box tick really is required then a remote option needs to be explored.

Why does it need to be good for you?
I think it's good, you don't, end of.

Why is it good? We should be challenging stupid, no benefit, company policies.

No revolution has any bearing on your morals.

Can they do special accommodation either by paying for a taxi or change the time of the course to a little bit later in the day?

Why shouldn't I lie to someone who has so little respect for my time?

No, it's not good if she goes. Her boss is being utterly unreasonable.

Jesus, you can tell this country didn't have a revolution. Bet the French wouldn't stand for this!

Why are people so encouraging of telling lies.
If being deceitful is in your nature it's easy I guess.

Good to see OP has decided to go. If it's company policy, just get it done and put of the way.

Where does it say the OP will get a qualification out of it?

I'm astonished at the number of posters here who think it's fine for the OP's time to be wasted like this.

So what if the boss wants her to do it. They are plainly being ridiculous.

But if you’re an expert in the course; it likely won’t be hard for you to do what you need to do to pass. Surely you’re familiar enough with it where it won’t be a huge undertaking.

I’d see if I can negotiate remote attendance but I wouldn’t push back on the qualification itself. It’s the easiest qualification you will gain, given how well you know the material.

WTF? No, of course you shouldn't be made to attend a course you literally wrote.

If this is indicative of a general lack of respect for your time and expertise, I'd start looking for another job tbh. This is farcical.

It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry usnt it. So utterly ridiculous.

I understand you wrote the training and I agree with you that it seems rather redundant making you do the training you wrote and coordinated.

If your boss is saying you need to do it though, I think it's a case of suck it and see.

You shouldn't be expected to travel for it though. They should be reducing and eliminating barriers for accessing their mandatory training. Presenteeism is not a reasonable request when to be present you would/could face additional unforeseeable barriers. Have they even made sure the venue is wheelchair accessible or done any sort of risk assessment and journey planning?

Your carers normal working hours must be a valid reason to say you cannot get the train on time.. I wouldn't be offering up the fact they could come earlier!

It is a drip feed, the information about needing passenger assistance and to have your carer come in earlier does change things

This. And all the posters agreeing.
FFS.
Just set up your own course and print if the certificate.

Please tell me the course is about disability and inclusion or something.

God, I’d love to be paid to do something than the actual job for a few hours 😂 though I understand it’s not the same for you for the reasons you’ve listed.
