Train the Trainer

• Theory input, reflection and facilitated discussion on how adults learn best in the work environment, including individual learning style assessment.
• Determine, through group work and facilitated discussion the best approach from a number of models of training proposed. Learner will then carry out practical exercises with peers firstly in the classroom to develop safety and confidence, working towards work based training to develop skill and embed the knowledge
• Based on specific work environment, learners will receive theory input, have an opportunity for reflection, which will cumulate in building a learning intervention which learners will create themselves on what approach works best to ensure consistency when training others.
• Facilitated discussion and reflection around best practise in communicating effectively in the context of what works best in their organisation. Skills practise using new skills with tutor and peer observation and feedback. Skills practise to embed the learning focusing on effective communication.
• Introduction to best practise in relation to assessment/validation with practical exercises around what works best within their specific job roles in their work environment.
• Group reflection on possible challenging situations, theory input and recommendation on how best to approach dealing with these including when to seek support from the relevant person or department in a timely manner.
• Theory input and group exercises around how best to self-evaluate and develop self-awareness for personal development and to support others. Group/sub group discussion on how to self-evaluate and development of self-evaluation process and agreed actions around this and follow up reflective practise based on next steps.
• Appreciate and be able to give and ask for feedback and apply this to a process of “continuous improvement of training”.

Building on over 30 years' combined experience in human resource learning and development; the tutor utilises an experiential learning approach to their programmes. This methodology of learning provides an opportunity for learners to engage with, experience and apply the learning in a practical way and also provides the opportunity for learners to receive feedback on their newly applied skills. The opportunity is also provided to learners to reflect on the full learning experience and how this might be of value to them in the achievement of their learning goals.

To assist and continue with skills development, we facilitate via email a post learning reflective practice utilising skills practice sessions recorded during the course. This assists delegates in embedding new learning, gives further support and enables them to define any further actions required.  This program offers one to one or group coaching as an additional element to further support the delegate and embed the learning process.
