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.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“When the child is twelve, your wife buys her a splendidly silly article of clothing called a training bra. To train what? I never had a training jock. And believe me, when I played football, I could have used a training jock more than any twelve-year-old needs a training bra.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“I am not a suffragist, nor do I believe in “careers” for women, especially a “career” in factory and mill where most working women have their “careers.” A great responsibility rests upon woman—the training of children. This is her most beautiful task.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
