Technical/Hands-On Training Workshops are considered: instruction where participants physically work with the actual equipment, tools, or systems they’re learning about, rather than only watching a demonstration or reading about it. The core idea is learning by doing: trainees perform the real tasks — operating, troubleshooting, assembling, calibrating, or repairing equipment — under guidance, so they build procedural skill and muscle memory, not just conceptual knowledge.

Key Characteristics Usually Include:
  • Direct physical interaction with real or realistic equipment (not just slides or simulations, though simulators can supplement it).
  • Guided practice — an instructor or technician demonstrates a process, then trainees replicate it themselves.
  • Immediate feedback — mistakes are corrected in real time, often on actual hardware.
  • Competency-based outcomes — success is measured by whether the trainee can actually perform the task (e.g., disassemble/reassemble a device, run a diagnostic, complete a repair procedure), not just pass a written test.
  • Small-group or one-on-one format, since it requires physical access to limited equipment and close supervision.
AAMI will provide:
  • Basic AV set-up to include (1) LCD projector, (1) screen, microphones if required based on audience size.
  • Classroom set-up for seating.
  • Basic internet and power.
  • List of attendees who participated.

  • Refreshments are not provided and would be at a cost to the vendor.
