Fundamentals of Training (formerly Trainers Edge)

The Fundamentals of Training (formerly Trainers EDGE) is a required course for:

• Wood Badge for the 21st Century Staff
• National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) Staff
• Council and District Training Staff
• Pack Trainers
• Anyone interested in polishing their training skills.

NOTE: There is now an ONLINE  component required to complete the course. 

The purpose of the  course is to provide and help develop the platform skills of a trainer and is meant to supplement the practice that is offered through Wood Badge and NYLT staff development. You will have the opportunity to hone your skills and give several presentations during the day to put into practice the skills taught through the training.
