New Policy - 2026 Club Officer Training
Toastmasters International has announced a new three-hour club officer training program. Attending one three-hour session satisfies the officer training requirements for the summer training period.
Alternative Training Options
The Program Quality Team has approved two alternative ways to meet this requirement:
-
Traditional COT Sessions: Attending a traditional Club Officer Training (COT) session that covers your specific officer role objectives will fully satisfy the requirements for this round.
-
Virtual Mix-and-Match Sessions: District 2 offers virtual, one-hour COT sessions focused on tools and resources club officers can use to enhance their role. You can mix and match any three of these one-hour sessions to fulfill the three-hour requirement.
While these virtual sessions are not designed for a specific officer role, some align closely with certain positions. You may attend the same topic multiple times, as each session is customized to the participants and covers foundational elements.
ROUND 1 CLUB OFFICER TRAINING SESSIONS - HAVE ENDED.
ROUND 2 CLUB OFFICER TRAINING SESSIONS WILL BE POSTED IN OCTOBER 2026.
