A collection of training resources to download and use for your training courses.
Notes About the Resources
- Various forms, templates and checklists are provided in MS Word. You can easily edit these resources as needed when preparing to deliver a training course.
- As you carry out more training, consider adding more parameters to these resources to customise them based on the topics you teach and your own style.
- Depending on how you provide your training services, some of the activities listed in the checklists might be handled by a training agency or someone else. You should consider modifying the resources to include only those tasks that are relevant to you unless the form is to be used by someone who takes care of arranging the courses. The key is to make sure the checklists are reliable and that all parts are applicable and useful.

These courses are divided to two lists; those that are already scheduled and those that you can do based on request.
