     Review of Objectives:

     use training program which can be implemented almost
     immediately, requires little in the way of capital resources, and
     requires less than thirty minutes preparation time for each session.

     Upon completion of this program the attendee will be able to:

(7)  1. describe the intended application of this training system;

(8)  2. describe the three parts of each skill session description;

(9)  3. perform the necessary planning to deliver a skill session;

(10) 4. identify the needed resources to deliver a skill session;

     and

(11) 5. adapt the skill session program to various audiences or methods
        of delivery.
