Why Knowing How to Teach Is an Essential Skill

We believe that you can significantly increase your organisational productivity if your staff know how to teach well so they can pass on their hard-earned knowledge to others in your organisation.

Experts are often time-constrained and poor training delivery can be a waste of time on all sides. Knowing how to train others is a different skill and needs to be mastered to avoid leaving many frustrated colleagues.

Teaching can be formal, like in a classroom, or informal, like on-the-job training. Either way, teaching well follows set discovered principles that we share with your staff in our Train the Trainer course.

When your staff know how to teach well, they will be more satisfied having shared their expertise efficiently. You will also end up with a more skilled workforce.  

Who Is the Train the Trainer Course For

The course is for trainers (full-time or part-time), subject matter experts and managers who want to expand their teams. Anyone who wants to learn delivery skills, participative techniques or improve training impact in a classroom or on-the-job setting.

Why Get In-House Training

If you have several people in your organisation who have the same learning needs, an in-house Train the Trainer course is an ideal training option.

We can easily teach different experts from different fields in the same class on training methodologies. In fact, this leads to a better course with cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques.

It is easy to book and arrange our in-house courses to run at your own premises. We can also select a suitable venue off-site if you wish.

Why Us

We are specialists in training design and delivery. We design training materials and provide them to the training industry. We offer numerous products and services to improve training methodologies. Train the trainer is what we do.

Testimonials of Students Attending the Train the Trainer Course

What Is Covered in the Course

The overall aim of the course is to help attendees learn and practice proven training techniques that help them train others on whatever subject they are expert on. They will learn:

• How to structure a course
• Use facilitation skills to run it
• Keep their students engaged at all times
• Maximise long-term learning  

Your staff will learn about four broad areas: on Method, Setup, Expression and Teaching.  

This is an extremely hands-on workshop. Numerous focused exercises have been designed thoughtfully to help attendees learn and memorise what has been taught during the course and to give them an opportunity to try it out for themselves. By working together with other participants in the course, they can see how each technique is used in practice and how to apply them to their own courses.

In-House Courses Are Much Cheaper

• Reduced training costs. We offer a substantially cheaper rate per delegate for our in-house courses. In-house courses are typically 30% to 50% cheaper than sending staff to public courses.
• No need to travel for your staff. Save time and money.
• No need to book accommodation for your staff. Save admin time and money. 
• Reduced admin time. Save effort in dealing with sending delegates to a public course, handling travel expenses, etc.

In-House Courses Are Flexible

• We run the course based on your ideal schedule. This is much easier to arrange than sending staff to pre-scheduled public courses.
• Have access to key personnel if necessary. Maintain contact with your staff outside tuition times.

In-House Courses Lead to Better Training

• Receive in-context training. Use your own organisation’s familiar environment.
• Relevant training. Get to work on your own work examples and case studies during the course, making training much more relevant and personalised. 
• Team building. Delegates go through a shared experience, can brainstorm ideas and learn from each other in the context of their own shared work. Learning continues easily after the course. 
• Can be customised. We are specialist course designers and so we know all about designing, tailoring and customising courses.

In-House Courses Are Environmentally Friendly

In-house face-to-face training is green as only the tutor needs to travel.

How Much Does It Cost

For a 2-day course, we offer a fixed rate shown at the top of this page.

• The rate is for the whole course for a maximum of 6 delegates. This is the optimum number for our Train the Trainer courses as we want to let everyone demo their training delivery and get evaluated on their performance. 
• For 6 people attending the course, this comes down to be less than half the cost of attending our public courses.
• The course is for a minimum of 4 delegates. It is important to have enough delegates to have productive exercises and discussions. 
• If you require more than 6 delegates to attend, please let us know and we will advise. We can run several courses with 6 delegates each and we can provide you discounts when we run multiple courses. 

Tutor's Travel Expenses Included

The travel expenses in the UK are already included in the above rate and so there are no extra charges other than the rate mentioned above.
