Train the Trainer

This programme is available In-House and currently delivered through virtual classroom training.

People are an organisation’s most valuable asset. Well trained people can massively leverage performance in your organisation plus ensure that understanding, knowledge and skills are passed on in a consistent and systematic way, leading to greater employee confidence and a positive customer experience. Becoming a trainer is not just about being an expert in a particular field, it requires an insight into how others learn and being able to impart information and teach a skill in a way that is simple and easy to understand, yet essentially meeting the standards required within your organisation. For this good communication skills is essential as is the ability to assess how your learners are doing be it in a group or one to one. Our unique Train the Trainer programme will help you understand and experience the skills needed in training others successfully in a dynamic, multi-sensory format that will dramatically accelerate acquisition and application of knowledge.

How do we train and support you?

Building on over 30 years' combined experience in human resource learning and development; the tutor utilises an experiential learning approach to their programmes. This methodology of learning provides an opportunity for learners to engage with, experience and apply the learning in a practical way and also provides the opportunity for learners to receive feedback on their newly applied skills. The opportunity is also provided to learners to reflect on the full learning experience and how this might be of value to them in the achievement of their learning goals.

To assist and continue with skills development, we facilitate via email a post learning reflective practice utilising skills practice sessions recorded during the course. This assists delegates in embedding new learning, gives further support and enables them to define any further actions required.  This program offers one to one or group coaching as an additional element to further support the delegate and embed the learning process.
