Chapter 4: Implementation of the SMS Training Programme

The course was created to be delivered one module at the time, by numeric order. During the pauses between each module, the mentoring circles should be delivered –preferably starting after the second module of SMS training, so that participants can have the opportunity to know each beforehand.

However, if during the 1st module it is noticeable that participants don’t have an e-mail account or do not remember their passwords, is recommend that 6th module be delivered after the 1st module, since it will make it easier to go through the next ones.

Each training group should be formed by a maximum of 10-12 participants, depending on how comfortable the participants feel using ICTs, so that the women can receive a more individualized learning support.

The quick changing nature of social media platforms means that some specific information may need to be altered on a regular basis, by future trainers and users of the materials for teaching purposes.
