Welcome to the Fundamentals of Effective Training (FET)!
FET is a hybrid training that consists of several sections of online content, plus 1 face to face training day OR 2 webinar training days, followed by an additional section of online content. (See FET 3 for information about your in person day or webinar dates). All sections must be completed in order, as this training is sequential, building on content from each previous section. The learning management system is set up to let you progress to the next section once you have completed the necessary prior assignment. FET is designed for flexibility, allowing you to work as your schedule permits and saving your work as you go.
It is important to start working through the courses as soon as they open and complete by the designated due date. This will allow you to pace yourself and move through the content at a comfortable rate. The time it takes to complete each course may vary for each participant due to previous experience with the content and/or their level of comfort with online training.

Course Description
When we think of engaging participants, we usually think of engaging them in activities. This session will focus on strategies for using Total Participation Techniques (TPTs) that allow all participants to demonstrate, at the same time, active participation and cognitive engagement in the topic being studied. Throughout this training session trainees will learn what TPT’s are, how they can be used to support participation and engagement, and be provided tools to implement TPT’s into future trainings.
This training session includes active participation and requires satisfactory completion of an application activity in order to successfully complete the training.
