Title Changes
Every day, as assistant learns new topics, you should BRIEFLY review what was taught the day before. If there is time, the assistant should do a small amount of actual work in each area every day. Or, you can set entire days aside where they just do one or two types of work. You must constantly gauge how they are learning the material, and adjust training to fit their absorption capacity.
