TRAIN THE TRAINER 2016

On the weekend 19/20 March, the first “train the trainer” course was held. The course aim was to identify and assess a number of ex trekkers to assume the role of facilitator and mentor.

Two days was spent listening to a number of skilled speakers addressing a range of subjects which will assist in producing competent staff. The course was conducted at the HQ of 3 Health Support Battalion at Keswick Barracks in Adelaide, an excellent facility, ideal for our purpose.

Thirteen ex-trekkers were identified and took part in the information and skills upgrade. Peter Keith, Tim Smith and Dogs Kearney all contributed to a challenging and thought provoking two days, the first step in the process of accreditation.
