EFL Training Options

Many people begin using Essential for Living without any formal training at all. They read the first four chapters of the handbook and, referring to pages 28, 29, and 39, begin conducting their first Quick Assessment of skill deficits.

Others use the ‘newly enhanced’ Essential for Living Introduction and User Guide click here

Still others use EFL Video III: Conducting An Assessment Skill Deficits and Tracking Learner Progress with Essential for Living click here.

For those who would prefer ‘formal training’, the following training options are available…
