The training can be provided in one two-hour session or can be broken down into smaller segments for multiple sessions.

The toolkit includes: a sample agenda, learning objectives, a script for the primary trainer, PowerPoint slides, a facilitato rs guide, a discussion group/ breakout session guide, a workshop evaluation, a subject based evaluation, a glossary, and a list of references.

Minimal preparation is needed for the training. However, the toolkit should be reviewed prior to the training.

The facilitator may also want to consider using the sample certificate for participants to document and honor their completion of the training.
