Course Description
During this interactive 2-day course, you will be introduced to the four cornerstones of training:
- Method: Facilitation and learner engagement
- Setup: Course structure and preparation
- Expression: Trainer confidence and communication
- Teaching: Questions, participation and practice
The course is designed to help you keep your learners constantly engaged and make them remember the content through participation and exercises. This course boosts your confidence and authority in the class.
What You Will Learn to Do
Designed for subject-matter experts, new trainers and experienced professionals who want to strengthen the way they teach.
- Structure: Construct a course from its opening all the way to its conclusion
- Build credibility: Establish trust without over-selling your expertise
- Improve retention: Use practice, retrieval, repetition and reinforcement
- Demonstrate learning: Check understanding and connect learning to application
- Apply facilitation training: Replace long passive lectures with guided questions, exercises, participation and discussions to turn information into learning
- Engage: Use the engagement sequence to regain and maintain attention
The purpose of this 2-day intensive course is to give you a structured approach to overcome these challenges; it will turn you into a confident, influential trainer that delivers.
Teach Different Learners Effectively
People bring different levels of experience, confidence, prior knowledge and ability to a course. Learn how to combine clear explanation, visual examples, guided discussions, demonstrations, exercises, reflection and practice. Learn to select each method according to the subject, your learners' needs and the skill being developed.
Who Is This Course For?
- Subject-matter experts preparing to train others
- New trainers seeking a clear delivery framework
- Experienced trainers who want to improve their facilitation skills
- Managers and internal trainers responsible for developing their teams
- Trainers who deliver courses in the classroom, live online or through self-paced online learning
Practice, Feedback and What You Receive
This is a practical course built around applying the techniques, not simply discussing them. Before attending, each participant prepares a 15-minute training session on a topic of their choice. During the workshop, they refine its structure and delivery before presenting the improved version on day two.
Each participant will receive:
- Personalised coaching and detailed feedback from the tutor
- Constructive feedback from the other participants
- Formal assessment based on criteria explained during the course
- A video recording of their training session, with further critique after the course
- A detailed 120-page workbook and useful checklists
- A printed Certificate of Achievement
Become a Confident and Dynamic Trainer
This train the trainer course is designed to help you learn and memorise the techniques taught during the course through numerous focused exercises. By working together with other participants, you will get a chance to apply these techniques to your own courses and see how they work in practice.
Based on established principles in educational psychology, this course shares practical techniques that you can use in everyday training. You will learn how participatory techniques and experiential learning can enhance your training. The course focuses on actions rather than just theories. The emphasis is to know how to deliver a course that makes people learn, and keep that learning for a long time.
