What is the program like?
Equip is a training course that is 100% online. Tuesday of each week, a new session will be posted on the Equip website. You’ll listen to the audio or watch the video session. A worksheet is provided with each lesson for you to download and print. These worksheets will help guide you through the content and key questions. Once you’ve finished each lesson, you’ll complete the quiz for that session.
What if I need more information?
What is the pace of the program, and what if I fall behind?
There is one 60-minute session each week. Since these are recording posted on the Equip site, you can listen and process them whenever it works best for your schedule! They are accessible 24-7. After the eight sessions, there is a 2-week window where we leave the course open so you can finish at your pace.
Are there assignments to turn in?
No, but processing what you hear through the provided worksheets is important. We do not ask you to turn these in.
What if I don't pass the quiz?
There are only 4-6 questions, and they are very simple review questions. If you do not pass the first time, you will be able to take it again.
