JCI Training
Since its start in 1990, the JCI Training area has seen
major changes and is now operating more and more like
a professional training organization aimed to the
development of new trainers who in turn will help JCI
officers to efficiently fulfill their duties and ensure the
members have the skills and knowledge to act
responsibly in local activities.
Since the establishment of the online tools in 2006 to its
complete online and paperless certification system
finished in 2007, JCI Training is also moving towards a
more efficient operational system and professional
standards for training within the organization aimed to
provide standardization in the quality of the training
courses delivered.
The Certified JCI Head Trainer program is aimed to
continuously develop new and young trainers by
coaching and providing opportunities to train with more
experienced trainers at JCI Official courses.
The online tools for JCI Official courses organization and
registration will keep records of all training activities not
only of trainers, but also of all members who participate
in JCI Official courses.
This User Guide is designed to help members who want
to organize a JCI Official course.

change the deadline to the first day of the course. The course organizer is the only one who can edit the
course and change the day of the registration deadline. It is recommended that the deadline be the first day of
the course. If registrations reach the limit established by the organizer, it can be changed at that time.
