Train the Trainer

Scheduled Sessions

Course overview

• This program is designed to provide new trainers, with the skills and knowledge to plan and present effective and interactive training sessions. The focus of the delivery is on three areas - individual facilitation, group facilitation and work-based facilitation. With a very practical and "how to" approach, this program is premised in learning the theory behind great training and a series of presentations to the group by each participant.

The program provides 2 individual and 2 group opportunities to practise training skills (the morning of Day 3 and the whole of Day 5) with comprehensive feedback on both sessions given.
• Opportunity to observe and learn from your fellow participants.
• Provides a useful and comprehensive session plan template.
• A core module of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
