A "Learning package’ is prepared for each modular unit, consisting of a series of self-contain- 
: ed instructional booklets (“learning elements’), each covering a specific learning objective (theory, 
cian train- information or activity). Each booklet is short and significantly and precisely matched to the 
for opera- learning objectives. It starts with a learning objective, a list of materials and equipment needed, 
C elements and a lost of other learning elements related to it. The instructional pages contain short, concise 
hnician to texts and illustrations Much attention is paid to praticing the relevant skills The learning element 
ill have to ends with a progress check precisely matched to the learning objectives. The text is presented in 
such a way to facilitate translation into ‘other languages. The presentation of learning elements 
lends itself to easy reproduction and adaptation into other media (sou nd/slides, etc). 
The learning elements and/or the learning packages (modular units) can be combined in various 
sr ways to form individual training programmes geared to actual training needs and specifications.

(4) Supervision of the training: starting the personalized training programmes, giving assistance 
in case of difficuities, giving instruction whenever needed and supervising assessment of the skills 
learned. 
(5) Evaluation of the training package, analysis of evaluation data and implementation of eva- 
: luation results (this last point in cooperation with the speciaiized institute which developed the 
training package).
