BTEC Training the Trainer Programme Content Overview
To be an effective trainer requires a special balance of skills. On the one hand the trainer needs to have enough charisma and dynamism to make their subject interesting and compelling. On the other hand, focussing on the students' ability to learn and apply the subject matter is more important than the trainer's 'performance'. For this reason whenever we are 'training the trainer' we are looking at three areas:
- Content - the content and structure of the training;
- Communication - the ability to communicate that content, and
- Flexibility - the ability to adapt the style of delivery to suit different groups, personalities and environments.
Clearly each of the three elements cannot exist in isolation and each needs to be understood in relation to each other. Depending on the training needs and aims of the organisation, each course requires a different blend of these components. It will always focus on the principles of good communication and involves a large amount of interaction from the students, who will be required to prepare aspects of a presentation and will develop their ability to evaluate themselves and others.
The components of this training qualification include:
Content
- How to establish the aims and objectives of the training.
- How to structure training for maximum interest and effect.
- Logistics; room lay-out; use of technology; props and equipment.
- How to involve everybody all of the time.
- Planning and preparation.
Communication
- Speaking and delivery skills
- Confidence and posture
- Recognising and adapting to different types of personality
- Principles of good two way communication
- Listening skills
- Interpreting different types of feedback; body-language, unspoken messages
- Facilitating the skills transfer by delivering objective and supportive feedback on classroom activities
Flexibility
- Attitudes and Fundamentals
- Adapting structure and content
- Empathising with the student
- Responding rather than reacting to situations and people
- Developing a pleasing personality
- Keeping it all in perspective.
Excellent delivery usually wins out over excellent content and naturally, we expect both. Therefore Training the Trainer is firstly about developing the person and then about the person delivering the training.

There are typically four delegates (maximum 6) to ensure that attendees receive detailed individual feedback and many opportunities to practice new techniques. The cost per delegate is £580 + VAT.
