* 30 seminar days (including travel)
* 12 days overall for the training project (preparatory work, prep meeting and the course itself)
* 15 days (on average 1-2 days per month) for following the personal learning commitments, the online work, peer learning, mentor talks etc.

• The competence to design, implement and evaluate training programmes.

Methodology and Structure of the course
The course is designed to give participants the opportunity to experience, and reflect upon, being a trainee and a trainer. It is designed as a mutual learning process where participants can learn from each other and from the experiences they encounter during the course. Due to its long-term character, the course is designed in such a way that the three seminars are only ONE of the aspects shaping the learning process of participants. Acting as a responsible self-directed learner is a key feature of ToT.
ATTENTION!!! Participants have to be recruited by their National Agencies for the Youth in Action programme who will cover the expenses related to the participation in the course (travel, board and lodging, practical project, etc.). Some NAs reserved the places exclusiv for trainers of their national trainer pools, other NAs also select trainers not being member of the pools. Please check your chance to be selected with your NA before investing time to fill the application form.
