The CSRTP program must be delivered in a synchronous (live) medium, as opposed to asynchronous or pre-recordings. It can be delivered in person (face to face), via remote attendance using online video conferencing software, or as a hybrid model. 


**Timing **

The CSRTP must be delivered live (synchronous delivery). The standard format for the CSRTP is to be delivered over 5 days consecutively (Module 1 = 1 day, Module 2 = 2 days, Module 3 = 2 days). However, Trainer's may elongate or split these sessions how they deem appropriate for their participants. For example, Trainer's may choose tot each one day of the course each week for five consecutive weeks. Other options include splitting each day in half or smaller sessions which can be spread over a week or a longer time period. 

Although some trainer's may wish to deliver the course over a shorter time period (i.e. 4 longer days), we advise against this due to the amount of content contained within the modules and the difficult to comprehend and digest all of the information in a shorter time-frame.

When teaching in person, it is essential to have access to a networked computer for each participant; access to medical databases; and sufficient space to facilitate small group work. Some Trainer's use computer rooms, whilst others may encourage participants to bring their own laptops or devices. It may also be important to seek the organization’s IT staff’s assistance to ensure smooth connection to the internet and to troubleshoot any issues on the computers to be used. 


**<span style="color: #000000">Synchronous Remote Attendance via Online Videoconferencing Software</span>**

<span style="color: #000000">Historically, the CSRTP has only been delivered in person, face to face. However, COVID-19 required a change in the way this program is delivered. As such, if JBIC trainers have the ability and the technology available, remote attendance to CSRTP training via videoconferencing software (such as Zoom) can now be offered in line with the requirements below. </span>

<span style="color: #000000">If trainers are considering hosting the course via remote attendance, a reminder that only approved materials are used and the entire content is delivered. All activities should still be conducted and the course should still be interactive with the opportunity for participants to ask questions and have discussions and group work.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">Trainers need to use the approved materials and teach all the content. All activities should still be conducted and the course should still be interactive with the opportunity for participants to ask questions and have discussions and groupwork.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">Trainers need to ensure they are situated in an appropriate environment to deliver the entire program, with good internet connection, webcams, sound audio and the option to coordinate group discussions via break-out sessions. </span>

<span style="color: #000000">There must not be pre-recording of sessions. </span>

<span style="color: #000000">If the program is being offered via remote attendance using videoconferencing software, trainers are required identify this mode of learning (face-to-face or remote attendance) when completing their training Registration Form. </span>

<span style="color: #000000">In 2020 and as a result of COVID-19 training challenges, we asked trainers to provide the following feedback information when undertaking CSRTP via remote attendance. This is no longer required however from time to time we may ask trainers to provide this information for our records:</span>

- <span style="color: #000000">Technology:</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">What technology was used?</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">Did you utilise any specific features of the technology, such as breakout rooms, chat forums, participants sharing screens etc?</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">Was the use of technology successful?</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">Did you face any barriers using the technology?</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">How did you facilitate the activities using the technology?</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">Modifications to delivery</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">What modifications did you need to make to the way you </span><u><span style="color: #000000">deliver</span></u><span style="color: #000000"> the course? (Note: all content and activities should still be delivered without modification)</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">Were these successful?</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">Participant feedback:</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">What were the views of the participants regarding the online course?</span>

<span style="color: #000000">The above is also good information for new trainers to consider when delivering CSRTP for the first time using remote attendance platforms. </span>


**<span style="color: #000000">Hybrid Training</span>**

<span style="color: #000000">Hybrid (a mix of in-person and online attendance) is also an option for trainers. In this case, care must be taken to ensure that the experience for online attendees is as equal (as possible) for those attending in person, and that they still have the ability to interact and engage with trainers and the materials. This may be facilitated by having a trainer specifically monitor the online attendees and prompt their engagement. </span>
