Training for Trainers (2 days)
Who is it for?
This train the trainer course is for people new to training or for those whose role requires them to conduct occasional training for groups of staff.
Description
Trainers need a whole raft of skills, not simply presentation skills, to be effective. In this highly participative 2-day workshop, delegates will learn how to plan and prepare for an engaging training course or programme. They will learn how to write training notes, how to conduct a training session and how to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the training.
Delegates will be given an insight into what motivates trainees to learn, 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.
