Training Timelines

A few different timelines we suggest for the Foundational Curriculum, as well as some notes on how to create your own.

All around this site, you’ll see us describe our Foundational Curriculum as a “2-Hour” training.

Here’s a little secret: we only call it that, because most of you need it to be that.

The exact same curriculum could be shortened (we would not recommend that), lengthened to 3 hours (we highly recommend this), or even, with some gusto, extended to 4+ hours.

This curriculum thrives when it’s facilitated — creating a lot of room for discussion, questions, and “rabbit holes.”

Unfortunately, a lot of organizations see 2 hours as a difficult enough barrier, so if they thought they “needed” 3 hours in order to use our curriculum, they might give up on the initiative altogether. We don’t want that. Here’s how we look at it:

1. 3 (or more) hours is ideal for a Safe Zone. 
2. 2 hours is okay, but not ideal.
3. Anything less is going to feel less like a “Safe Zone” and more like an information session — which is okay, but it’s important to recognize.
