<span style="color: #000000">JBI oversees a large international education and training program accessed by clinicians, researchers, health scientists and library scientists from over 50 countries. Thousands of participants have completed JBI courses, focusing on the systematic review of evidence and the implementation of evidence into action.</span><span style="color: #003366"> JBI's short, non-award courses, available as part of JBI's educational program, are often delivered by the staff of JBI in Adelaide, Australia, and internationally. Because of our global focus – and in line with our mission to achieve global health through the implementation of the best available evidence into action –  JBI established a “train-the-trainer” (TtT) program in 2005. This program initially focused on preparing appropriately qualified and experienced people to deliver the JBI</span> [Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program](https://joannabriggs.org/education/short-courses/CSRTP) (CSRTP) to participants unable to attend it in Adelaide. In 2012, a similar program for Trainers to deliver the [Evidence Implementation Training Program](https://joannabriggs.org/education/short-courses/EITP) (EITP), formerly known as the Evidence-based Clinical Fellowship Program, was introduced.

<span style="color: #000000">The EITP was launched in 2004 and has been offered since then by the scientific staff of JBI as a short, non-award course. The TtT program “registers” those who are not members of  JBI or the University of Adelaide to legitimately deliver training based on  JBI's intellectual property and accredits those who complete programs delivered by registered trainers and provides them with a certificate of completion.  The TtT program is offered on a fee-paying basis to interested persons. To date, hundreds of trainers have been registered and JBI Trainers are located across the globe.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">To ensure that we are achieving our mission of seeing evidence-based healthcare practiced internationally,  JBI views training and education as pivotal to meet our goals. Participants of the JBI EITP, upon completion, become JBI Fellows for life and are entitled to use this label as they see fit. JBI Fellows are encouraged to publish their implementation reports in JBI's journal.  To become a JBI Fellow, interested persons must complete the JBI EITP (delivered by a registered trainer). JBI maintains a database of registered trainers and of Fellows.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">In registering trainers who are not members of the JBI Collaboration or the University of Adelaide , JBI  permits the use of the internationally known JBI ‘brand’ and of the University of Adelaide’s intellectual property.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">To become a registered trainer, interested parties must successfully complete the Train-the-Trainer program. Once a registered trainer, trainers must meet the expectations and requirements for being a trainer and delivering JBI courses. Registered trainers conduct training under the auspices of their collaborating entity as stipulated in the Collaborating Organisation Agreement.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">This handbook details all of these requirements and the expectations of JBI Trainers. In addition, this handbook provides information on the TtT program, guidance on conducting EITP, and information on JBI’s approach to education and teaching.</span>
