Training
We strongly recommend that every person who implements Project EX participate in a training workshop, conducted by a certified Project EX trainer, prior to beginning delivery of the program. The objectives of the Project EX training workshop are to provide an understanding of the theoretical basis, content, instructional techniques, and objectives of the program. In addition, the training is designed to build the skills that implementers need to deliver the lessons with fidelity.
We offer in-person training workshops that last either one or two days. Our certified trainers are health education specialists who have classroom experience with Project EX.
UPDATE: IN-PERSON IMPLEMENTATION TRAINING IS NOW AVAILABLE. WE ARE ALSO CURRENTLY OFFERING LIMITED VIRTUAL TRAININGS.
The safety of our trainers and trainees is of upmost importance. We will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation, and will take necessary precautions to support our team and yours.
