Train the Trainer

Overview

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. As a learner, you will receive in-session coaching from AIM’s expert trainers and leave the program with a recording of a presentation.

Designed For

Training officers, managers with training responsibilities and those who have not previously been trainers and would like to develop skills to effectively deliver training sessions.
