TTA Tool Walkthrough Training

This training course provides a detailed overview of the Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program Monitoring Tool effective as of 1/1/2024. The TTA Tool is comprised of the TTA GPRA Event, Post-Event, and Follow-Up Forms. This tool training walks through each question on these forms so that grantees can collect event data. This training is for SPARS users who oversee or are responsible for collecting and submitting TTA data. This training does not include data entry of TTA tool data into SPARS; there is a separate course for TTA data entry training.

This training session was held on October 25, 2023. The version of the TTA Program Monitoring Tool covered in this training is effective starting January 1, 2024.
