Your Starting Point

Over the years, at Skills Converged we have developed many training resources and have made them available on this site for the training community.

A great way to start using these resources is to go through them piece by piece.

For this, we have explicitly developed a 20-Part Self-Study course that is delivered to you by email, one lesson at a time.

In each lesson, you will be introduced to a set of core skills that will help you provide outstanding training courses. Each lesson also leads you to various relevant resources, exercises and articles available on the site.

Online Train the Trainer Course

In addition to the free self-study course described on this page, we also have our highly praised accredited train the trainer course with a certificate that includes videos, handouts, exercises, downloadables, discussion forums and quizzes.

It is offered under a learning management system (LMS) where you get to practice many skills and discuss training technqiues with other students.  

You can purchase the course here:

Train the Trainer: Core Skills Online Course

Becasue we can test your knowledge in this accredited online course, you will receive a certificate with CPD accreditation. Unfortunately we cannot offer a certificate for the free self-study course.
