Advanced Trainer Qualification Criteria

Advanced Trainer: A trainer who can transfer clinical skills to healthcare providers in an area(s) of specialty (e.g., IUDs, IP, MNH); conduct CTS courses for any area of FP/RH; and coach candidate clinical trainers and candidate advanced trainers as they complete their practicum. If, however, the advanced trainer is training trainers for a clinical skill in which s/he is not proficient and skills standardization is to be included as part of the CTS course, a proficient provider of that clinical skill must be available to conduct that portion of the course. The advanced trainer also should be knowledgeable and experienced in conducting various types of training courses in reproductive health. Generally, a JHPIEGO advanced trainer was a proficient healthcare provider first, then became a clinical trainer (e.g., IUDs, IP, MNH) and completed an ATS course and a practicum (i.e., conducted a CTS course with a qualified advanced or master trainer).

It is strongly recommended that the practicum experience needed to move from candidate advanced trainer to qualified advanced trainer take place within 6 months after completion of the ATS course. If it does not take place within 1 year, the candidate advanced trainer should receive a refresher in advanced training skills or repeat the ATS course before conducting a CTS course with a qualified advanced or master trainer.

Candidate Advanced Trainer – a clinical trainer who fulfills the following requirements:

  • Proficient clinical trainer

  • Completed an ATS course

  • Qualification form submitted by the qualified advanced or master trainer following the ATS course resulting in the person being entered into the JHPIEGO Faculty and Trainer Database as a candidate advanced trainer

Qualified Advanced Trainer – a candidate advanced trainer who fulfills the following requirements:

  • Successfully conducted one or more CTS courses while being coached by a qualified advanced or master trainer who has determined the advanced trainer to be competent (completed a practicum)

Qualification form submitted by the qualified advanced or master trainer following the practicum resulting in the person being upgraded in the JHPIEGO Faculty and Trainer Database to a qualified advanced trainer.
