Train-the-Trainer

Our Train-the-Trainer program offers a timely and cost-effective alternative to our open enrollment option. Health facilities can license our copyrighted materials annually and receive direct training from our staff so that required cultural competency training can be completed and maintained within their own organization. We recommend this option for facilities with 60 or more employees.
