Train the Trainer

Overview

Train-the-Trainer: Educate. Enable. Empower.
Become a confident, subject matter expert that engages authentically, and connects to bring value to your audience.

As organizations look towards becoming more efficient through cost reductions they are streamlining their training processes to provide training internally. By training trainers organizations can tap into the knowledge and experience of existing staff and relay on these Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) to execute training of junior staff.

The Train the Trainer programme is designed to develop skillsets that enable trainers, presenters and facilitators to effectively manage the learning experience. Participants will learn concepts in understanding the audience, how they learn, their motivation, learning theories and learning styles, memory and cognitive load theory. The presenter or facilitator will learn the importance of building rapport with his/her audience, communication types including verbal, non-verbal and graphic communications. The trainer will also be introduced to building a lesson plan, effectively writing objectives and the “Nine Events of Instruction”. Good training must also incorporate evaluations. Training is only one element of developing competency. Evaluations must also be incorporated into all training and participants will be thought the levels of evaluations depending on the level of leaning required.

The programme is designed to develop trainers for the next level of hybrid training that can be synchronous or asynchronous.

The course is set over four (4) weeks consisting of one three hour session per week amounting to twelve contact hours (12) contact hours.
