Qualification:
- Brothers or sisters in the church life between the age of 35
and 65, and are of sound physical and mental health, with elders'
recommendation.
- Saints may attend the training on a short-term basis (see
short-term
training application) The minimum period for required short-term is one week.
Lodging:
Training-arranged housing will be provided to single brothers or sisters if
requested. Married couples without children will be lodged together in
training-arranged housing if both are trainees. Those with children may also
apply if they are able to take care of their own housing needs and living
costs. Southern California trainees may stay at home and commute.
Transportation:
Trainees are encouraged to provide their own vehicle.
Clothing:
- Brothers: White long sleeve shirt, tie, long pants, dark-colored
shoes and socks.
- Sisters: Clothing should be worn with modesty and sobriety, proper and
appropriate with no sandals. Sleeveless blouse and slacks are not allowed in
training classes.
Medical Requirements:
- Major medical or valid travel insurance, which provides coverage
while trainees are in Anaheim, must be in place before they arrive for the
first day of the training.
- Health Questionnaire form must be completed and submitted along with
the application.
- Physical Examination Form must be completed by a licensed physician
and submitted along with the application.
All incoming trainees must submit evidence of tuberculosis (TB) screening.
Although tuberculosis screening need not be completed before the application
is submitted, it must be completed before arrival in Anaheim. Trainees are
not allowed to participate in the training, including meals or housing,
prior to completion of tuberculosis screening.
In most cases, TB screening is done by a skin test (PPD) performed within
the last 6 months before the start of the Training. However, in the event
that your TB skin test returns positive, a radiologist’s report in English
of a chest X-ray done after the PPD must be submitted. The skin test
requires two visits to a health care provider, 48-72 hours apart, and
obtaining a chest x-ray report normally requires at least a week. The
applicant should allow for unforeseen delays.
If the PPD test was positive in the past, the PPD should not be repeated. In
this case, a chest x-ray done within the last 12 months before the start of
the training is sufficient.
If the TB screening requirement is fulfilled by chest x-ray, the report must
be in English and signed by a radiologist. Note that a statement from a
personal physician that the chest x-ray was normal is not sufficient. In
addition, you must send the chest x-ray in electronic format, to
midage@ftta.org, or bring the chest X-ray, preferably in electronic format,
to your medical interview on the first day of the Training.
An alternate method of screening is by blood test. One advantage of the
blood test is that it might turn out normal even if the PPD was positive in
the past, which would spare the need for a chest x-ray. However, the blood
test is more expensive and is not as widely used as the PPD.
There are two situations in which no skin test, x-ray or blood test is
required. One is if the individual has previously had TB, has completed
treatment, and is currently without symptoms of cough, fatigue, night sweats
or weight loss. The other is if the individual has completed a course of
antibiotic prophylaxis for TB (this is usually 6-9 months in duration). In
either case, documentation of treatment must be submitted in English.
Applicants are strongly recommended to have blood tests for hepatitis B; if
the tests are negative, they should be immunized.
