Train the Trainer

Our Train the Trainer short course will enable participants to gain comprehensive knowledge and the skillset for the effective training of others.

When your staff are training others, whether it be in health and safety, quality, or following a work instruction or Standard Operating Procedure, you want to be confident the message has been understood.

With the high level of internal training happening on-site at work, companies often take good training skills and knowledge for granted.  Unfortunately, good training doesn’t just happen without efficient planning, knowledge of how adults learn and retain information, and the psychology of learning.

That’s where our Train the Trainer Short course comes in so that you can be confident in your staff’s ability to develop and grow others and further develop your organisation’s learning culture.

Participants will learn

Planning

  • Knowing your audience
      • How adults learn – practical tips and techniques
      • Identifying barriers to learning and how to mitigate these
      • Understanding diverse audiences: it’s not a one-size-fits-all
  • Writing SMART learning outcomes that keep training focused and targeted
  • Planning memorable learning that sticks by using evidence-based neuroscience

Delivery

  • Transform boring PowerPoint slides into active engaging learning sessions with activities built-in
  • Chunking content to avoid information overload
  • Training different levels of participants – effectively
  • Personalising learning so that it’s meaningful and relevant
  • Evaluating and reflecting on training sessions

Post Workshop follow up

An extra hour of one-to-one coaching time with your Upskills facilitator to talk through lesson ideas and activities, or get personal feedback on an observed training session.  This is our tried and true way of ensuring all the learning from the workshop is applied back in the workplace.

Benefits

  • Risk of misunderstandings mitigated – fewer mistakes occurring and consistent application of work practices
  • Strong learning culture which contributes to staff engagement and retention
  • Having effective trainers leads to a psychologically safe workplace where staff are confident to speak up
