Training the Trainer: 2-Day Training Workshop

Overview:

This workshop will be a combination of lecture, activities, discussion and practice. It should also be considered a working session to prepare for future training sessions.

Participants should come to training prepared with a topic and any current materials that they have (SOP’s, PowerPoint presentations or other material) so they can begin to develop their training session and prepare for a 10 minute practice session on Day 2. Some lab time is included in the workshop, but participants may want to spend some additional time at the end of Day 1 preparing for the practice session.
