CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRAINING COURSES

Each Triple P course involves two costs:  (a) the training course itself, and (b) Triple P resource materials that each practitioner needs at the beginning of the course.  The price for the training course itself is a fixed amount regardless of the number of participating practitioners, not to exceed 20 in each course.  The price for Triple P resources is a fixed amount per practitioner times the number of participating practitioners.  Organizational representatives are encouraged to contact Triple P America to discuss the particular needs of their organization. 


What Triple P America Provides
1.  A TPA trainer conducts the intensive training at the contracting organization’s site.
2.  Two TPA trainers will complete the course by conducting the one-day competency practice and accreditation.  Alternatively, the participant group can be split in half so that a single TPA trainer can conduct the competency practice and accreditation on two consecutive days.
3.  TPA will cover all travel, local transportation, accommodation, and meal costs incurred by the trainers.
4.  The course may include up to 20 participants (more than 20 dilutes the training experience).
5.  Training days can be scheduled on weekdays, weekend, or some combination.  Training runs from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, with 20-minute morning and afternoon breaks and a 45-minute on-site lunch break.
6.  Each participant will receive a copy of the Participant Notes training workbook at the beginning of training.
 


Responsibilities of Contracting Organization/Agency
1.  The course contract is paid at the time of booking.
2.  The contracting organization is responsible for arrangement and costs related to training venue (provision or rental of room), lunch and coffee breaks for all participants, and audiovisual equipment.
3.  The intensive training days require a large room that accommodates 20 participants plus the trainer and the audiovisual equipment.  The one-day competency practice and accreditation requires two medium-sized rooms that each accommodate 11 participants plus a trainer.
4.  An overhead projector and screen need to be available for all training days (Part 1 and 2). 
5.  A VHS video player and large monitor are need for all training days (Part 1 and 2).
6.  The contracting organization should designate an individual to serve as primary point of contact and liaison with Triple P America.  This contact person will be responsible for coordinating with the Triple P operations director, distributing reading packets to participants, arranging training room, equipment, and food, resolving on-site logistics, and being available to the trainer on training days.
