Skills and supplements, how to build a Learning Plan, and group data

Certified User Training: takes place over two-days. It is the
same as the End User training plus how to effectively use the aggregate data

each report. In addition, learners will understand the importance of coaching
others in the use of Life Skills tools and understand how to implement and
maintain the Casey Life Skills tools most effectively in an organization.
Certified Trainer: participants are expected to meet
all criteria in the Certified Users training and in addition be able to

Life Skills training curriculum. They must demonstrate relevant technology to
facilitate learning and be able to demonstrate an understanding of basic
learning principles relevant to facilitating motivation and learning of the
