TIPS sessions can be administered through a certified TIPS Trainer or through eTIPS, an online training program. This website offers the online version online.
Training conducted by a trainer is implemented through video and printed materials to facilitate discussion of the course content. Course material is presented in three sections: Information, Skills Training and Practice/Rehearsal.
Training conducted through eTIPS is implemented through a computer and served over the web. eTIPS Training is self-paced and can be administered at anytime.
