Tools, Instruments and Measures

This course, as the title suggests, is comprised of hands on training experiences. The beginning of every session is concerned with safety. After the safety section of the lesson, there is vocabulary review and preview followed by demonstration and ending with the learner working with the tool, instrument or measure with instructor feedback. This classic model is an effective technique for skill based competency and we apply it to all sessions:
