For Leaders and Trainers

How the levels are meant to work

Every level page has two parts:

1. Trusted with: what someone can be left to do alone at that level, and what we expect them to do well.
2. Modules: the training that gets them there.

A level is a description of what someone can be trusted with. Someone working towards Level 1 is already setting up bits of the room with someone beside them. Note that Level 1 is not about doing it all alone. They’re not Setup Crew until they can take what they’re handed and finish it, pack down included, without help.

Nobody is “promoted”

Someone moves up when they can already do the job, which means it should never be a surprise to either of you.

How training actually works

Here’s a guideline on how to train people effectively:

Step	What happens
I do	They watch me, and I say out loud what I’m doing and why
We do	They drive, I work beside them and talk them through it
You do	They drive, I’m in the room and quiet
