PSAI Train the Trainer Licensing Agreement
3. The Licensing Agreement
• The PSAI remains the owner of all intellectual property in the course content and materials.
• The licenses are held by the trainer, not the trainer’s organization, regardless of who paid the course fees.
• If a Trainer leaves his/her member company for any reason, the license granted by the Licensing Agreement remains with the individual trainer. The company may access other credentialed trainers through the PSAI until another member of its staff can complete the Train the Trainer course.
• The ability to act as a trainer with the PSAI’s intellectual property, upon successful completion of this Course is non-transferrable.

• Every delivery of a PSAI training course will be known to the PSAI in advance;
• Each training attendee will register and pay fees directly to the PSAI, even if the trainer is being paid by the company or individual for his/her services as a trainer;
• The trainer will provide training on the PSAI’s behalf on a voluntary basis at no charge at least once per year.
