Trainers will learn how to elevate their credibility, confidence, and training skills to new heights. This Train the Trainer experience will help trainers deliver compelling workshops, both online and offline, whether they’re new to the job or seasoned professionals.
Virtual and In-person sessions available.
In our Train the Trainer: Training Foundations Boot Camp, trainers will learn to use the A-E Professional Development Model to:
- Create an environment that is conducive to learning
- Handle difficult attendees and classroom challenges
- Overcome presentation fear
- Correctly identify training needs
- Write meaningful learning objectives
- Deliver impactful training programs
The A-E Professional Development Model
Assess
Uncover problem areas, establish the rationale and benefits, solicit input. Consider geographical, budgetary and time constraints.
Build
Establish learning objectives, engineer a flow for the training program, onboard subject matter experts, and resource content.
Create
Design the right learning tools that complement the content and target the learning objectives. Incorporate engagement techniques to maximize learning.
Deliver
Fine-tune timing, staging, learner engagement. Learn to take control of the room and anticipate challenges. Display confidence, interest, and personality.
Evaluate
Circle back to the learning objectives and the primary stakeholders. Solicit feedback and ensure the training translated into on-the-job results.
Our experts will demonstrate how to make training interesting, promote involvement, and build rapport with learners. Participants will become keenly aware that the priority is not that the trainer trains but that the learner learns. Trainers don’t have to tell attendees everything they know. Rather they must find avenues for the attendee to leave a training program with the skill and motivation to apply what they learned.
