Starting in 2007, all JCI courses must be placed online and all registrations must be received online so the information is logged in the trainers’ and participants’ database. All course participants must register online. When they graduate, course attendance will be added to the person’s database. Attendance to the course is needed to become JCI Assistant Trainer for that course. Those not registered online can’t be added manually to the database.

JCI Head Trainers must enforce these rules by not conducting any course that is not online and ensuring that the rules regarding image and corporate identity are strictly followed. The JCI University expects all Head Trainers to follow these rules and see that they are also followed by Assistant Trainers.

Manuals and Handouts

JCI is focusing on its Corporate Identity and its image among JCI members and the community at large. Therefore, it is important that rules be observed when using JCI official manuals and courses.

The reproduction of the course material (if allowed, for free courses), must adhere to the following rules:

1.     Content. The content of course materials (Participants’ Manual) may not be changed. If any other item is added or the course is adapted to fit local priorities or needs, the new material must be presented separately from JCI’s Manual.

2.     Appearance. The course material must be printed in the original way, without changes on the layout.

3.     Local Organization Name or Logo. The organizers may place the course manuals in a kit or a bag with other promotional or academic course material, but no name or logo may be added to the design of the manuals.

4.     Sponsors. No sponsor’s logo or name may be added to the design. A separate flyer may be handed out if necessary.

Trainers’ Guide and Slides

JCI will make the Trainers’ Guide available online for qualified Trainers. In the event of changes, JCI will make them available online for Certified Trainers.

All course slides are password protected and must be saved and opened as “read-only.” No changes or other slides must be shown unless they are illustrations and follow the standard JCI templates.

Promotional Material

If the course has an official flyer, brochure and poster, no other material can be used to promote the course. If there is no promotional material available, the production of such material must follow the JCI Corporate Identity rules.

Course Content

1.     It is the JCI Head Trainer’s responsibility to ensure the JCI course is conducted as designed in the Trainers Guide, without changes or deletions. If Trainers have recommendations on how to enhance the course, they must submit them to the JCI University Certification Commission. If approved, they will be allowed in the course content.

2.     Trainers may also add their own experience to enhance the course, but they must not change the content of the course.

3.     In doubt, please consult JCI at Training@jci.cc.
