Cancellation Policy

Some useful definitions
- Provisional Trainer Status: designation given upon completion of T4T prior to attaining Full Trainer Status
- Full Status Trainer: designation upon successful completion of T4T, mentorship, and required workshops
- Mentors: are Full Status Trainers who take on the role of mentoring Provisional Trainers (Please note: Any references to Mentors/mentorships do not apply to non-Alberta applicants).
- System Trainers vs Community Trainers: System Trainers facilitate workshops internally for their own organization. Community Trainers facilitate workshops independently, outside of their organization.
More about Mentorship
You will be assigned to work with a Mentor.Read MoreRead Less
A Mentor’s role is to:
- help you prepare for your first workshop;
- help you better apply the content;
- support you in person, via phone, and/or video conferencing;
- provide you with an opportunity to practice the delivery of certain sections of the workshop;
- provide you with feedback and recommendations; and
- submit an evaluation of you, the Provisional Trainer, to CSP.
The mentorship program is designed to help you apply the knowledge you gain in the T4T classroom. Typically, a Provisional Trainer completes 1 mentorship before facilitating a workshop independently. In unusual circumstances, a Mentor may recommend that a Provisional Trainer take more time preparing before delivering the workshop, or recommend further mentorship. In very rare and extenuating circumstances, it may be recommended that a Provisional Trainer discontinue with the program. Should this happen, CSP will review the matter thoroughly and make a decision based on their review. Any further costs associated with the recommendations will be the responsibility of the Provisional Trainer.
