LIFE BLENDED TRAINING OF TRAINERS (TOT)
The LIFE blended training of trainers is used to train future LIFE trainers who are not enrolled in a 5-day TOT. Instead of the 5-day face-to-face TOT, the trainer can cover 2 days of training online, at his/her own convenience. To be able to be certified as LIFE trainer, the trainer who successfully goes through the online training should also attend an additional 3-day face-to-face training, at the nearest training center.
The LIFE Blended TOT allows future trainers to learn the LIFE Curriculum and its teaching methodology through an online platform, called the LIFE Online Method. Those who complete the LIFE Online Method and successfully complete the related LIFE Online Assessment are invited to attend a 3-day face-to-face workshop where they can practice delivering topics from the LIFE Curriculum in a hands-on way. Participants receive their LIFE Trainer certificate at the end of the LIFE Face-to-face Workshop, and are then able to use the LIFE curriculum to train students and certify them.
The LIFE Blended Training of Trainers contains three steps:
- Step 1: Completing the LIFE Online Method
- Step 2: Successfully completing the LIFE Online Assessment
- Step 3: Successfully completing the LIFE Face-to-Face Workshop
