This presentation gives an overview of the South Africa HIV ATTC "training of trainers" (ToT) model that is currently being implemented with our organizational sponsors. This ToT model focuses on screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), which is one of the core curriculum offerings from the South Africa HIV ATTC. The ToT model includes six modules, and covers core competencies such as:

• Training, presentation and facilitation skills
