Trainer Support

An additional benefit of a trainer approval system is trainer support. Trainers who are supported in their work and connected to resources are more effective and more satisfied in their work.

Key elements of a robust trainer support system include:

  • a means of identifying training gaps and supporting courses to meet those needs.
  • an effective and efficient way to offer courses
  • consistent standards and qualifications
  • professional development opportunities
  • career guidance
  • trainer forums for exchange of ideas and collaboration
  • access to up-to-date information
  • connections to local, regional, state, national and international professional organizations
