Abstract
The purpose of this publication is to provide and/or reference valuable tools to help public health workers deliver more effective training. Many trainers do not consider themselves trainers (hello, this might be you). In many cases, they were simply asked to conduct training “A”, or implement workshop “B”, without adequate tools, knowledge or an understanding of the purpose of the training. This scenario leaves many of us in the category of “reluctant trainer.” A common sentiment may be that, “I will train others because I was asked to, but I’d rather be at the dentist.” If a person is reluctant to train, it will become evident to the trainee. Knowledge and practice of good training techniques is key to shedding a reluctant outlook on training. This publication will aid in transforming reluctant trainers into confident, more effective trainers, by providing tools and insight into training delivery.
