The notes associated with the slides are for trainers to reference. Text in regular font supplements the information present on the slide. Text in italics gives extra information to be shared with or activities to be done with trainees.
Display this slide while trainees arrive.
During registration each trainee should
1. sign in legibly (so that the name can be put on a course certificate);
2. fill out a name tag for his/her shirt;
3. get a binder and pen; and
4. socialize.
Optional: trainees may complete an IPM Exam as a pre-test. For any that do, write "Pre-training" on the exam.
Determine who is in the audience (names, jobs, and skills).
Stay at the registration table and introduce yourself as people arrive.
Better yet, get a non-trainer to monitor the registration table so that you can mingle.
