Training plans are collections of curated courses available on TRAIN that address specific gaps in knowledge, skills, and competence. 

The TRAIN team at the Public Health Foundation’s (PHF) works with TRAIN affiliates and other national organizations to make a variety of training plans available to the network’s more than 1.2 million learners.
 

Additionally, TRAIN’s 26 state and 3 federal affiliates have the ability to create their own training plans for specific learner audiences. For example, many state and local health departments use TRAIN to develop training plans that address knowledge gaps as they prepare for Public Health Accreditation (PHAB) by accessing content on TRAIN​ and establishing expert workgroups to vet courses according to criteria specific to their agencies.

TRAIN provides access to a wide variety of high quality courses developed by nationally-recognized and respected training providers, including government agencies, academic institutions, and professional associations. The vast majority of these courses are free, and many note specific competencies, such as the Core Competencies for Public Health for Public Health Professionals, allowing learners to search for courses that address these competencies.

Anyone can become a TRAIN learner at no cost and register for the nationally available training plans as well as the thousands of other training opportunities available through the TRAIN Learning Network. Learners also maintain a transcript on TRAIN of their coursework.

Organizations are invited to work directly with PHF’s TRAIN team to develop training plans and post them to TRAIN.
