Are you responsible for developing and implementing training?

No matter what kind of training you do you must be well prepared and able to handle whatever happens in the training room with flexibility and professionalism.

This course is designed to help participants gain basic training competencies and enhance their skills and capabilities. Practical application exercises are used in conjunction with course materials to teach students how to design and deliver an effective environmental training program.

As part of the learning process, students have the opportunity to design and deliver a short, ten-minute presentation to the class on the final day. The presentation may be on any topic, and time will be scheduled for the attendee to prepare their presentation. Students may bring photos or other visual aids to incorporate into their presentations. Experience using PowerPoint is NOT necessary.
