Train the Trainer

As organisations become more and more people orientated the demand for quality training has never been greater. Companies want their people developed to their full potential. Many organisations are now also offering training to their customers as part of their service.

Training, like ice-skating, looks easier than it is. Training requires a different skill set. Based on LDL’s internal train the trainer programme, the course takes you through all the necessary steps from deciding objectives, to reviewing results.

The trainer training clearly identifies the challenge of good training – you must both transfer knowledge and inspire people to use it.

The content is highly participative and reflects the premise that people learn best by doing. You design and deliver four short training sessions during the course. These are videoed so you see yourself as others see you. You both give and receive feedback. Step by step you are taken through every step necessary to run your own professional training programme.
