Train the Trainer — A 2-Day Course

 Closed In-House Course

Course Synopsis

Training is often thought of as being a single event, isolated from business needs - such thinking fails to see the whole picture. Training needs to be a systematic process which begins with analysing the training requirement in the context of business demands, and leads on to designing and delivering appropriate training solutions and evaluating the relevance of the learning to the organisational needs.

This course introduces participants to the training process, guides them through each stage and equips them with the skills to be effective trainers.

Anyone who is new to training or who already has a responsibility for training and wants to improve their existing training skills and techniques would benefit from attending this course.
