Common principles for NA Network TCs

• NA Network TCs can be co-ordinated by NAs or by SALTOs.
• To receive the status of a NA Network TC, there should be a pilot phase to develop an approved training concept to which many NAs want to send many participants.
• The call for NAs to express needs to send participants should be made together in one call. It should be made in time before the annual TCP Seminar of the NAs and the TCP Seminar should offer possibility to express interest.
• NAs should be able to send as many participants as needed per TCP period to each of the courses.
• Each NA Network TC should have a qualified pool of trainers to ensure that the needed amount of courses per year can be implemented and a certain common quality standard is kept in the delivery.
• Criteria to recruit new trainers should be transparent but can be different between the different NA Network TCs.
• An annual meeting of the trainer pool/group to evaluate and develop the NA Network TC should be an obligatory instrument to allow coherent delivery of the courses by different trainers of the pool.
