Train the Trainer

Train the Trainer - how to turn attendees into participants FULL DAY

Whenever training is mentioned, most people think of "the course". At worse, an activity where candidates arrive at 9.00am, have various breaks, get a course book, meet new and old acquaintances, leave at 4.30pm having had a pleasant day out of work. At best, they play an active part in a training course, reinforce ideas, learn some new skills, feel that they have benefited. They put ideas into practice to improve their performance

These two examples have something in common - not much happens before the day or after! The event often takes place in isolation. This workshop emphasises that to get the maximum benefit from training activities, there should be a more structured, quality assured approach.

The workshop, therefore, considers how training and development needs are identified using a wide range of information, such as that gained from daily activities as well as specific opportunities such as reviews and appraisals etc
