Contact Information
The form is divided up into 6 sections. Please be prepared to provide detailed information for each one.
Section 1: Title And Description
1. What is the title of your training?
The purpose of the training title is to provide the audience with a snapshot of what the training is about. Please be sure the title is specific and accurately describes the training being conducted.
Examples : Emergency Action and Fire Prevention Plans
2. What is the description of your training?
The training description provides your audiences with a concise explanation of the content of your training. A good training description can mean many enrollments, while a poor course description can doom your training before it starts.
Things to keep in mind when writing your description:
- Keep the description focused on the content of the training. Include only what the course actually covers, not what the course may cover.
- The description should be 30 to 120 words. Using too few words makes the course look insubstantial. If a description is over 120 words, it can intimidate the learner. People will rarely read the description if it is too long.
Examples
- This course is an introduction to the elements of an effective Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and Fire Prevention Plan (FPP).
- Employers are required to have these two safety plans to help ensure they are prepared in emergency situations.
Section 2: Hourse And Learning Objectives
3. What are the number of hours of your training?
The 'Number of Training Hours' refers to the total duration of training that is mandated for students and anyone who takes the courses either online or face to face. This includes theoretical training, practical exercises, and on-the-job training.

Instructors can base a score on a number of factors:
- Written assessment (multiple-choice exam) REQUIRED
- Hands-on exercises (optional)
