Training
ELSA knows its own International Trainers Pool (ITP) and several National Trainers Pools (NTP). The members of the ITP are selected by the International Board after a training week, based on skills and experience. Topics of training are diverse, and include, but are not limited to: General ELSA Knowledge, Project Management, Presentation Skills, Negotiation Skills, Time Management, Communication Skills, Chairing Meetings, Conflict Resolution, Planning, Transition and specific area related trainings.
Members of the ITP conduct their work on a voluntary basis and are therefore not paid. However, the national or local group requesting for a training is supposed to pay for the travel costs and arrange accommodation for the trainer(s).
A training can take from several hours to a whole week. It should be mentioned that it is not possible to give a training on one topic in a few hours. This rather can be called an introduction. Therefore, for more serious trainings, at least a full day or weekend should be reserved.
