Train the Trainer
Train the trainer skills training for professionals who design and deliver learning in the workplace. This practical programme builds confidence in planning, structuring and facilitating engaging training sessions. Participants learn how to communicate clearly, involve learners, handle questions and create positive learning environments, enabling them to deliver effective, professional training that drives understanding, skill development and real workplace application.
Description
The programmes within this Communication pillar are not “off-the-shelf” courses. They are designed as a menu of development options that can be combined, adapted and shaped to reflect what is really happening inside your organisation. What initially presents as a “communication problem” frequently turns out to be something deeper – a question of confidence, trust, conflict, influence or clarity of management.
These outlines are therefore best read as catalysts for discussion – prompts to help you reflect on how people currently communicate, where friction or misunderstanding arises and what kind of development will genuinely shift behaviour. In practice, the most effective solutions often draw on complementary elements from across our other pillars – Personal Development, Management and Leadership, Business Development and Senior-Level Leadership and Talent Development. Every intervention we deliver is built in partnership with you, around your culture, your people and the outcomes you need to achieve.
