WHMIS TRAIN-THE-TRAINER (Classroom Training)

TLC Group Inc. Woodbridge Training Facility Scheduled Courses:

WHMIS: TRAIN-THE-TRAINER 

2 days to 3 days, depending on participants’ previous experience providing information to an audience (public speaking and/or instruction) and level of subject knowledge.

Provide required training to individuals (registered by a client or private registration), to enable them to provide instruction, leading to the issue of a WHMIS Record of Training Certificate.  

Class size is limited to a maximum of six participants for two days or eight participants for three days.

*NOTE: Length of course depends on participants’ previous experience in presenting subjects/ (public speaking), in order to overcome “stage-fright” and develop confidence in presentation/instruction skills. This factor is applicable to the 2nd and 3rd days of the course. As the 1st day is dedicated to confirming instructional skills and to ensure students achieve a full grasp of the subject’s technical knowledge, it allows for a mix of two-day and three day participants.

Students have the option to register for a two day or a three day course, depending on their level of presentation skills and experience.  Students, who registered for a two day course will have the option, at the end of the 2nd day, to register for the 3rd day, in the event they overestimated their presentation skills and realize that additional practical instruction is required.  (See Item 7 – Fees for payment details).
