Course overview
Increasingly, many of us are called upon to train colleagues or run training sessions for partner organisations. Perhaps you have a role in induction training, or maybe you are a manager who needs to upskill your team to face a new challenge. Maybe you are an IT professional who helps staff develop the skills to use a new system. Perhaps you would like to move into training as a career move.
Whether training is a big part of your role, or just a small aspect of your job, our two-day Training the trainer course will help you design and deliver effective training programmes. You will gain confidence in how to present information effectively with variety and flair and acquire the skills to deal with the dynamics of group learning.
Unlike a lot of train the trainer courses our course is highly practical and will introduce you to new techniques, enhance your communication skills and provide lots of opportunities to ‘have a go’.
