Training Execution

The STDC has to ensure that quality training is imparted to various cadres at different levels as per the Training calendar and the relevant CTD guidelines. the training material should include cadre-wise courses published by the CTD and should be shared with all the participants and other logistics. Some of the training material, especially for the peripheral field staff and community volunteers may be translated/back translated to local language and the STDC should develop the training material in local language.

Training of program managers [DTO, Medical Officer TB Control (MOTC), training of core NTEP staff [Senior Treatment Supervisor (STS), Senior Tuberculosis Laboratory Supervisor (STLS), District Programme Coordinator (DPC), Laboratory Technician (LTs) etc.], and training of all trainers in the state will be directly executed by the STDC. The STDC has to undertake the following steps with respect to the trainings directly conducted by it:- 

1. Reserve corresponding training venue/ infrastructure.
2. Ensure enrollment of corresponding trainees in individual batches
3. Inform and confirm the availability of facilitators 

Training of staff like Microscopy-LTs , staff of general health system, private sector staff and health volunteers would be executed/ implemented at the district/ sub-district level under the overall supervision of the DTO. For the training conducted at the district/ sub-district level, the STDC should support in all aspects for conducting the trainings.

Some specialized training (e.g. training of Microbiologists and Sr.LT of IRL & CDST labs), and training of the state level program managers and Trainers would be conducted by the National Institutes. For this purpose the STDC should request linked National Institute to conduct TOT, training of state-level programme managers/ STDC staff as needed. STDCs may also facilitate nomination of trainers to be trained in upcoming TOT batches by the National Institute and facilitate their participation.

 Sometimes additional trainings may needs to be organized over and above the annual training plan as per requirements of the state or as conveyed by CTD.
