Practical Train the Trainer

Course Length: 3-days

Course Overview

Most people who call themselves trainers today probably didn’t start out to be trainers. They often work in a field where they develop extensive knowledge and then are asked to share what they know. Many trainers have some experience with teaching, writing, or leadership, although they come from nearly every field.

As such, people who work as trainers are often put into difficult situations without much understanding of what training is or how to do it well. We know that being a good trainer is the result of developing skills to bring information to an audience. This information will then engage, empower, and encourage continued learning and development.

This three-day workshop will give you the skills that you need so that your students not only learn, but also enjoy the process, retain information shared, and use their new skills back in the workplace.

Participants will also have the opportunity to conduct a short group training session that incorporates these training concepts.

Objective

• Recognize the importance of considering the participants and their training needs, including the different learning styles and adult learning principles.
• Know how to write objectives and evaluate whether these objectives have been met at the end of a training session.
• Develop an effective training style, using appropriate training aids and techniques.
• Conduct a short group training session that incorporates these training concepts.
