The primary purpose of an instructor workshop is to answer THEIR (the participants) questions and to make THEM feel comfortable with presenting the course. Each participant will be issued an Instructor's Manual. The entire course will be quickly reviewed chapter-by-chapter and page-by-page.

In the interest of time, we do not dwell on subject areas that are fairly straight forward. Each participant is responsible to identify the subject areas that require more explanation, background, etc.
