Training Never Stops for Trainers

Nine Certified Linux Professional Instructors (LPI) attended the Seminar-Workshop on Laboratory Management for LPI Certified Trainers. This was held last February 11-13, 2009 at Zaibatsu Café Bar, Tacloban City, Leyte. Eastern Visayas State University’s (EVSU) iSchools Team hosted the event.

The objective of the workshop was to revise the laboratory management curriculum based on the experiences of the trainers on the field. Mr. Clement Rasul, a National Consultant for Education Management Information System and an expert on Open Source System Development, guided the participants in obtaining this goal.

The participants were Baquirquir, Lloyd A., Batangas State University; Diaz, Mario Rosendo, Benguet State University; Medina, Ronald, Western Mindanao State University; Miras, Adrian F., Laguna University; Pulma, Danilo B., Eastern Visayas State University; Santiago, Tristan Rex E., Western Philippines University; Villaruz, Dorward F., Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology; Mahinay, Marc Joseph, Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology; and Leonido, Alex L. Wertern Visayas College of Science & Technology.

After a rigid brainstorming and consultation, the group was able to come up with a 3- day Training Design for the Trainer’s Training and a 5-day Training Design for the public high schools.

“The Laboratory Management Training this year uses a practical approach. The training design is based on the capability and needs of the Laboratory Managers of the Public High Schools. This is something they would easily appreciate and understand,” said Dr. Danilo B. Pulma, a participant and the ICTC of the EVSU iSchools Team.
