What makes one training experience better than another? Effective training can help providers of family planning/ reproductive health (FP/RH) services to improve their performance. This handbook summarizes the tasks that should be completed at each stage of training to ensure an effective training course. If you carry out these tasks, you will have a high-quality training course. Think of these tasks as standards to be achieved or guidelines to be followed.

This handbook will be useful to anyone who has a role in the management, design, delivery, or evaluation of group-based training for healthcare professionals who are currently providing services such as inservice training. You may be a project manager, an instructional designer, a clinical trainer, an evaluation specialist, or a trainer who “does it all.” Or, you simply may be interested in knowing more about training to 
help you make program decisions or participate in stakeholder meetings. 

There is something in this handbook for each of you. Also, you will recognize that many of these standards apply to other types of training, such as on-the-job training, distance learning courses, and computer-assisted learning.
