Training the Trainer
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 ‘train a trainer’
we are looking at three areas:
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 the training 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
Attitude and enthusiasm
Developing a pleasing personality
Confidence and posture
Empathising with the student
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
Responding rather than reacting to situations and people
Facilitating the skills transfer by delivering objective and supportive feedback on classroom activities
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.
These two day courses run regularly in London. Please check here for Course Dates. There is a maximum of four delegates to ensure that attendees receive detailed individual feedback and many opportunities to practice new techniques. The cost per delegate is £580 + VAT.

I have undertaken a huge amount of training, but I can honestly say the trainer is one of the best trainers I have worked with. He had all the core competencies that you would want from a learning environment, supportive, caring, always willing to help further, flexible, but most important - really valued the work we the students undertook. I am going home on a real high.
