Description
Develop the skills to design, deliver and improve effective workplace learning.
Train the Trainer – Professional Instructor Development is a modern, cross-industry online course for professionals who train, coach, brief, supervise or support the development of others.
The programme focuses on the practical skills that make training effective: understanding learner and workplace needs, setting measurable objectives, designing structured learning, facilitating participation, assessing performance, providing constructive feedback and improving training through evidence.
Rather than focusing only on presentation skills, the course takes a performance-based approach. Learners are encouraged to start with the required workplace outcome, align learning activities and assessment to that outcome, and use evidence to improve training quality over time.
