Our Trainer Development Programme is a 'train the trainer' course recognising that in the majority of cases, trainers deliver material that they themselves didn’t create. This means that as a trainer, your style may often be restricted, unless you are able to make the content your own. In addition, adopting a 'pull' learning approach where delegates come to their own learning conclusions is more effective for adult training, but demands an advanced skills set from you, the trainer. Using a tried and tested adult training method, our 'train the trainer' course will provide you with the following skills: • A practical delivery style – how to use body language and vocal variety to improve your students’ understanding and retention; • Content and process – how to define adult training objectives and course structure, and to evaluate and measure your students’ progress; • Facilitation skills – how to guide learners along a structured learning path and measure students’ progress; • Optimising the learning environment – how to optimise your adult training environment for optimal learning. This course is SETA Accredited: Level 4, Credits 16.
