Train The Trainer
The Train The Trainer Programme has been devised for participants who already have experience in delivering training in their organisation or company.
It formalises that previous experience and provides the tools and the opportunity to take their skills to the next level, enabling them to work with either individuals or groups.
The Programme will help you to identify the most appropriate learning style for any given situation, and to develop a training programme that will yield positive and lasting results.
You will also have the opportunity to practice your interpersonal skills and will receive detailed and supportive feedback on both your content preparation and delivery style.

- Independent Learning - learners should allow for an additional minimum of 10 hours independent learning which would be made up of:
- approximately one hour between contact training days to review and reflect what has previously been covered and how they can put this into practice
- 7 hours for preparation for the assessment process. This would involve the research & preparation of two skills demonstrations (approx 2 hours outside of classroom time) and the completion of the written assignment (5 hours outside of classroom time).
