Regardless of age, gender or experience level, UTI is a new beginning for each and every student. It is very important that, as instructors, we get them off to a great start in their new chosen profession.

Multiple ages, backgrounds and experience levels.

It poses an interesting challange for the instructor when the class has multiple or a wide range of ages, backgrounds and experience levels. Making sure that the novice is taught while keeping the more experienced students interested.

Uniformity

If the goal is to provide uniformity from campus to campus, collaboration should be part of the process!

Gain their trust and get them to trust the process!

Gain their trust with your introduction and description of your experience level. Explain how this training will lead them to a similar rewarding career. Ask them to concentrate and trust the process that will get them there in a timely fashion. When you use specific time frames it becomes clear to the students that there is a process and by staying within it they can achieve their goals.
