Tresa modules

Modules are the basic elements of TRESA training materials. You can download many of the modules here directly. These include all of the TRESA modules, as well as modules listed by partner organizations. All of those are available freely.

Please be reminded that we do request that you acknowledge the TRESA (or other) origin of the work when it is used, and that you must receive permission for any modification of TRESA (or other) modules.
