Cochrane Trainers' Network
A network of people actively involved in providing training and support for the production of Cochrane reviews.

Members of the Trainers' Network can access resources just for trainers on this site, including downloadable presentations and additional resources to support face-to-face training.

Resources for members of the Trainers' Network:

  • Standard Training Materials [restricted access] - a suite of presentations, exercises and additional materials available in different languages for use in face-to-face training. Members of the Trainers' Network can access the materials by logging in with their Cochrane Account.
  • Trainers' week - materials from a virtual conference designed to support members of the Trainers' Network

Aims of the Trainers’ Network

  • Facilitate communication and peer support among those providing training
  • Facilitate use of Standard Author Training Materials and other approved training materials
  • Build capacity among trainers to provide training (scientific/technical skills, and teaching/learning skills)
  • Disseminate training information (e.g. updated resources, advance notice of changes to Cochrane methods, train-the-trainer opportunities)
  • Contribute to improvement of existing training resources and identify new resources for development, including translated materials
