The Essential Services of Environmental Health training program utilizes both narrated presentations and workshop formal to facilitate the training of staff. It comprises the following sessions:

Training preparation is facilitated by inclusion of inslructor and student manuals, presentation slides (narrated and un-narrated versions), case studies, worksheets, handouts, pre/post tests, evaluation forms, and links to online resources.
