"The training was amazing. I am a visual learner w/ADD. If the training doesn't keep me engaged, I will start to do other things. This training kept me excited about the next thing, and the next thing. The facilitator did an amazing job at interacting with the group, and teaching."

"I was very impressed with the scope and completeness of your outline and guidelines for curriculum development. I came to the workshop to see that and to see if you touch on learner engagement. That is my passion as you so powerfully point out is essential to identify. I have never heard it discussed and honored so specifically in curriculum planning and development. I loved it! Thank you."

"This training was excellent for those that want to create a CHW program or those individuals who are building their infrastructure. Again, I thought I was going to receive some techniques on virtual learning. But overall, the training was interesting."

How is this training different from the CHW Instructor Certification Course?
The UHA CHW Instructor Certification Course is a 12-week online course for those wishing to become Certified CHW Instructors. The Train-the-CHW-Trainer workshop is a continuing education/professional development opportunity for those that don't necessarily need or want to be certified as a CHW Instructor. The ideal participant wants to train CHWs in the CHW core competencies, may be launching a CHW Training Program in the near future, may be considering adding CHW Training to their already established allied health institution, or may have been grandfathered in as a CHW Instructor but had no formal training.
How is the LIVE workshop different from the Train-the-CHW Trainer online course?
The LIVE workshop provides an opportunity for you to ask questions in real time and get answers addressing your unique situation. You will also have more time with the facilitator as the workshop is 4 hours long and the online course is 2.5 hours long. The LIVE workshop is interactive and allows the opportunity for you to practice certain skills with guided direction. There is no opportunity to do this with the online course.
