Forms and checklists force the attendee to follow the guidelines presented during the course and can be used until the attendee is comfortable with the using the newly learned information. These forms and checklists are also sometimes required to be used, and being provided with samples ensures that the attendee will use forms in compliance with the requirements. A good training course is developed by those with extensive experience with the information being taught. By knowing first hand what skills tend to cause the most difficulties for collectors, a course can be developed to overcome these difficulties and ensure that proficiency is attained in all areas of specimen collections. In addition, be sure that you can be easily updated on changes to the information that you were taught.
Good training occurs daily.
Additional courses for 2002 will be announced during the summer of 2001.
