The "Tres Dias School" and the "Tres Dias Workshop" has been superseded by " Tres Dias Essentials Training".

Description: "Essentials Training" is a two and a half hour course that covers the history and purpose of Tres Dias, the Tres Dias Essentials, the administrative structure of Tres Dias (International Secretariat and Assembly), and the resources available from the International Secretariat.

Participation by Local Communities:  The Membership Committee of the International Secretariat would like each Tres Dias Community to complete this training at least once every two years under the leadership of a person certified by the International Secretariat of Tres Dias .  This training must be led by a person certified as a Tres Dias Essentials Training Trainer by the Vice President of Membership of the  International Secretariat of Tres Dias.  Exceptions to this policy should be directed to the Vice President of Membership.

Qualifications for Certification as a trainer: To qualify as a Tres Dias Essentials Training Trainer, a person must be nominated by their community and attend the "Train the Trainers" training session.  Upon completion of the training session a certificate stating that person is a Certified Tres Dias Essentials Training trainer will be provided by the Vice President of Membership of the  International Secretariat of Tres Dias.

Length of Certification: Certificates for a trainer will be valid for a period of five years.  They can be renewed by the individual repeating basic qualifications.

Number of Trainers: There is no limit on the number of trainers in a community.   Each community should have its own trainer.  Ideally each Essentials Training session would be conducted with by two leaders, one from the local community and a second from another community so experiences can be shared.

Reimbursement for Expenses: To support this commitment the Tres Dias International Secretariat has allocated funds to pay for the Essentials Training material and some of the travel expenses incurred by the trainers.  Contact the Vice President of Membership prior to conducting the training to obtain the amount reimbursable for expenses.
