Train the Trainer

Overview / who should attend and why?

Many people become trainers because of their knowledge of a certain topic. However, the best trainers are those who realise the ability to train is not something that is gained from subject knowledge alone, but through understanding, knowledge and experience. This course has been designed to give trainers a comprehensive guide of core knowledge and key competencies expected by their trainees.  Attendees may wish to bring some materials that will assist in practical sessions.

Anyone new to training, existing trainers who require a refresher course and managers who have accepted some training responsibility as a secondary role.
