There are 27 core competencies that will be dealt during the training. Initially pre-training skills and knowledge assessment will be done; then follows training core competences and later phase post training and internship. Both new knowledge and skills will be transferred to them in a participatory manner and they are given opportunities to take part in the hospital to carry out various cases of deliveries, observe various cases, and assist the team members.
