Accreditation Volunteer Training

← Back to Volunteer

Volunteer training is offered through online courses and in-person, in conjunction with select 大象传媒 events.

Accreditation volunteer training is designed to prepare volunteers serving as a mentor, peer review team member, peer review team chair, and accreditation committee member to assist 大象传媒 in its accreditation efforts.

Each training program provides an overview of the volunteer responsibilities, accreditation processes, and accreditation standards. Accreditation volunteer training is currently available to volunteers assigned to an accreditation volunteer position.
