Who is it for?
This course is designed for those new to training or for those whose role requires them to conduct occasional training courses.
 

Trainers need a whole raft of skills, not simply presentation skills, to be effective. In this highly participative workshop, delegates will learn how to assess training needs and how to plan and prepare for a course. They will learn how to write training notes, how to conduct a training session and how to evaluate and assess training courses.

Delegates will be given an insight into what motivates trainees to learn, about different learning styles and how to tailor course material to meet the needs of the delegates.

Engaging an audience is essential for effective learning to occur, and delegates will be shown how dynamic presentation skills, effective use of body language and assertiveness techniques will help with this process.

This two-day course gives delegates an overview of the key skills required to train staff effectively – whether in small groups or in a larger classroom environment.
