TRAINING UPDATE

The requirements for an instructor giving training in any Irish licensed establishment that it is not his/her own are:

1. Hold an individual authorization that includes the procedure he/she is providing training on
2. Work under the the confines of a valid project authorization in the second establishment even if not named in it.
3. Work in the second establishment for no more than two consecutive days to a maximum of 5 days per year.
4. Contact the IMB to this regard and get IMB approval.

Any person providing or receiving training for short periods of time in an Irish establishment to attain competency in a technique/procedure must hold an individual authorization whether they are from and Member States or not. The IMB contemplates the issuing of "short term individual authorizations" after evaluating a cover letter outlining the project on which they expect to work, level of involvement, dates, procedures to be trained in, etc. Evidence of specific training or of having a individual authorization equivalent in other country will be seen favorably and might help to expedite the process.
