Training in Communications

The objective of ITC Training is the development of speech and listening skills that enable members to become better communicators. This objective is achieved through a three-step program that includes:

• Study & Preparation: Basic tools are given to the member at the time of induction. Thoughtful study of each assignment will provide knowledge; through preparation will instill confidence. A Master Manual is provided for each member.
• Practice: Each club meeting is a setting where members can practice what they have learned in all phases of ITC Training
• Evaluation: Evaluation is the feedback technique used to appraise individual & group performance. Listening skills are particularly important

ITC Accreditation Program

ITC’s Accreditation Program is a 5-level certification program. After completion of each level, you receive a certificate, and your employer receives a glowing letter about your achievement. When you Complete Course III or beyond, you earn an official designation: Course III SC (Skilled Communicator); Course IV AC (Accomplished Communicator; Course V DC (Distinguished Communicator).

Each level has requirements in the areas of communication, evaluation & leadership. To complete a level, you must complete a series of assignments. Some of these may be complete outside ITC; presentations given at the office or for another community group can qualify.

The Accreditation Program promotes growth by identifying specific achievements in the overall ITC program and encouraging goal setting. It helps measure progress & boost moral. It may even motivate you to try something new at ITC or at an another organization by identifying challenging assignment.
