The replication of the educational activities of a course developed by the National Training Program for social health workers for controlling HIV infection

A course for regional trainers was organized by the Working Group for HIV training (PFH) and held in Rome. This course has motivated the participants and has given them the ability to organize similar training activities at local level. The training methodology, the evaluation methods and the objectives used in the course are described. An investigation has been carried out by the Working Group of PFH to evaluate the training activity of the participants at the regional level. The results show that 17 out of the 25 participants have been able to organize a total number of 53 peripheral courses and train 2144 health workers. The training methodology and the evaluation method utilized at the different local levels have followed the ones used in the central course.
