Simplified versions of this document exist to function as simple checklists. Please refer to the ‘\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://resources.producesafetyalliance.cornell.edu/documents/PSA-In-Person-GT-Checklist\" \u0014Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training Checklist: In-Person Delivery Courses\u0015’ or ‘\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://resources.producesafetyalliance.cornell.edu/documents/PSA-Remote-GT-Checklist\" \u0014Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training Checklist: Remote Delivery Courses\u0015’.\nPlan Your Training Logistics\nTraining Date(s)\nWhen choosing the training date, consider the seasonality and availability of produce growers in your region. Also consider major grower meetings or events that may conflict with scheduling, or that provide opportunities to provide training in a common location. It is also important to make sure co-trainers are available for the selected training dates.\nTraining Venue for In-Person Courses\nWhen choosing a venue, be sure that the room is large enough to comfortably accommodate the number of participants. Suggested maximum class size is 50 participants, plus PSA Trainers and PSA Lead Trainers.\nRestrooms: Make sure the training venue has accessible restrooms complete with toilet and handwashing sinks. Some on-farm and rural locations may not have this available, so it is good to ask ahead.\nAccessible electrical outlets, sound system, a projection screen, functioning projector, and the appropriate HDMI/VGA cords to connect a laptop are needed for most trainings. The meeting space may not include sound, computer, projector, and screen. Be sure to ask, plan for any additional expenses associated with renting the equipment or be ready to bring this equipment if needed.\nA classroom style set up (chairs at tables) is preferred to allow participants to use their resource books and take notes. Round tables are not recommended as some of the participants may not be able to see the screen or have access to the table top during presentations.\nTraining Platform for Remote and Hybrid Courses\nChoose a platform to use (Zoom, Webinar, Teams, etc.)\nEnsure attendees have access to reliable internet and functional computer, tablet, phone or other audio and video supporting devices.
