BENEFITS:  Ready...  Set...  Go...

Consistent, easy to follow core training:   By taking advantage of current technology, the hospice insures that all volunteers receive consistent and well presented information - a good FOUNDATION.  (Your staff may be fantastic, but they may not be good teachers.)   Our volunteer training is to the point, clear and concise.  The DVD Set, Manuals and On-Line segments present the same information, so feel free to use any of these learning tools to match the learning style and needs of your program and your volunteers

Not ready to incorporate independent study? Our DVD videos can be shown in class, followed by discussion & interactive activities.  The Portal or DVDs can also be used for make up classes, when volunteers miss a session.  The Workbook coordinates with the DVD & Video Portal segment.   The green Booklet accompanies the E-learning format.  Both student books are to be used as a resource for the volunteer to keep.
