Learning TFTC fundamentals
The initial agency kick-off training of Together Facing the Challenge includes two days of in-depth, in-person training for agency staff. Immediately following, Agency Master Trainers will attend a one day, in-person trainer institute. All training courses are led by experienced Omni Family Institute Trainers.
Consultation
Once the agency completes the on-site training, an Omni Family Institute consultant will walk with the agency through their implementation and certification process.
On-going Agency Master Trainer Institute options
Because we know an agency needs change, should an agency need additional Agency Master Trainers, Omni Family Institute offers on-going, quarterly Agency Master Trainer Institutes. These sessions include both virtual and onsite training. All Agency Master Trainers must be trained by an Omni Family Institute staff and participate in a one day, in-person trainer institute.
Leading Up to Training
In the weeks before the onsite training, the Omni Family Institute team will work with the agency to prepare for the upcoming training and consultation. This preparation involves ensuring all training materials including the Agency Master Trainer Manual, Coaches Manual and Caregiver Packet are received.
