Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous experience to begin training?

Not at all! This training is for everyone, whether you’re new to period equity or have been volunteering with TPP for years.

Can I skip straight to the Education Volunteer certification?

No. Education Volunteer certification builds on the Events Support Volunteer training. You’ll need to complete the Events modules first before starting Education Volunteer training.

How do I start volunteering after training?

Once you’ve finished your modules (and any practice sessions for Education Volunteers), you’ll submit your availability. We’ll then schedule you for upcoming events or sessions based on your role and location.

Can I retake the training or review the materials later?

Absolutely. You can revisit the portal anytime to refresh your skills or prepare for a session.
