Essential Information for Candidate Trainers

You will find being an ASIST trainer very rewarding. You will find the T4T course, which begins your trainer preparation, one of the best you have ever experienced. Besides the rewards and benefits, you also need to know what you are getting into because becoming, and maintaining the standards of a trainer are hard work. Prior to complete your application for a T4T, all candidates must read Essential Information for ASIST Trainer Candidates to understand what commitments are involved. Candidates must attend all sessions of the T4T week to be considered for provisional trainer status. Please keep this in mind when making travel arrangements.
