    This is a 1- to 3-page outline that explains the training which students will receive, in terms of:

    • objective: two or three lines to state what the training is meant to prepare the student for ... what it will give the person or allow him or her to do

    • contents: a sort of 'table-of-contents' outline of the curriculum -- the subject matter, the modules or courses that make up the program, with the main topics which will be presented in each module or course, with an indication of the time allotments for each piece -- usually about 2 or 3 pages

    • duration: how long the training is, preferably in total hours

    • structure and methods of delivery for the program: a few lines to give a summary-outline of the relative use of classroom, lab/workshop, real client vs mannequin/actor, OJT, self-direction vis-à-vis instruction, correspondence, Internet, etc.

    • books and other instructional materials: a list of what will be used to give the training - author, title, publisher, date

    • admission requirements: qualifications and criteria which will determine acceptance or not
