TRAINING TIPS HAVE A WRITTEN AGENDA FOR EACH LEARNING SESSION. t’s always a good idea to have an agenda for each training session. It doesn’t have to be detailed, typed or even well written. The important thing is that you have taken the time to think through the process and organize your thoughts about what you want to cover in the time you have available. I there is a record of who attended and what was covered. On the back of the agenda or another piece of paper I will make a list of the props or items I need to pull together to instruct the class, this includes equipment, chemicals, handouts, audio visual aids and other items. Filing these documents where you can ﬁ nd them in the future will make it much easier next time you need to conduct a session on the same subject, as most of the preparatory work has already been done. Make a few minor changes or updates and you are ready to go. To assist you in ﬁ nding your electronically ﬁ led documents al-ways put a page number, descriptive ﬁ le code and revision date at the bottom of the each page.

Another beneﬁ t is that if you forget where you are in the presentation,(which can happen when people start asking questions), with an agenda you can take a quick glance at the agenda and get back on track without anyone knowing or missing any of the key points you plan to cover. An agenda can be passed out before the session starts so attendees have an idea of what will be covered in the training session along with a time line which helps to keep the session with in the time period allowed. The agenda can be placed with the meeting sign in sheet so all in one place, TRAINING WILL BE HELD AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS: • Albany, NY — May 17-19, 2011 September 20-22, 2011 • Philadelphia, PA — November 9-11, 2011 Lunch will be provided.
