What is Train the Trainer Training?

Having been in the training industry since 1998, we know what makes a great trainer. It's not just about being an expert in your subject, it's about engaging an audience. Our Train the Trainer Training course will give you an understanding of how people learn so that the people you train will not only enjoy your course but go away with the knowledge they need. Our trainers have real world experience and are selected because of their consistently high standards and feedback. The training is interactive and provides opportunities to practice planning, delivering and refining your own training session on a subject of your choice.

Perfect for new trainers or managers looking to provide an in-house training solution.

Planning Ahead

I've received lots of positive comments about the Train the Trainer training. The messaging was pitched exactly right for our audience and the trainer gave an appropriate depth of detail so that everyone went away armed with enough knowledge to put together a training plan and deliver content based on desired outcomes.
