V. Class Size

The maximum class size permitted by NHI is 30 people; usually the smaller the class sizes the better (with a minimum of 20). NHI will ship 30 copies of the Reference Manual, Participant Workbook and the Administrative Package to the Local Training Coordinator to the address shown on the On-Site Course Request form (FHWA 1530). It is recommended that the Local Training Coordinator distribute the manual to the participants one week prior to the course, encouraging them to review the manual before coming to class. In the event the Reference Manual cannot be distributed prior to the course, a copy of it, along with the Participant Workbook, should be placed at each participant's seat by the Local Training Coordinator prior to the beginning of the first day of class. A writing pad and pen also should be provided for each participant. NHI will send a registration roster, tent cards for participants’ names, course evaluation forms, registration forms and course certificates to the host agency several weeks before the course delivery date. The Local Training Coordinator must notify the NHI Course Scheduler concerning any changes to the number of manuals or the shipping address.
