Online Training Materials
The following on-line training materials are provided for volunteers who would like to self-study or for those who may be unable to attend a scheduled training session. Please complete each stage in sequence.
The training materials are in a number of formats. Some are streaming video from YouTube, and clicking on them will open a video player. Slide presentations with sound are Flash Video, and require Flash Player. Slide presentations are Java Applets that require the Java plug-in (Mac OS has Java built-in). Other files are in PDF format that require the free Acrobat Reader plug-in. See links below to obtain any of these necessary plug-ins.
