Course Overview

  • Why it's vitally important to you now?

    In business and in organizations of all types, we recognize that effective training improves performance and motivation. And as someone with responsibility for training, you have an incredible opportunity to positively influence your colleagues, suppliers and clients. Imagine the effect on communication, atmosphere, morale, and the productivity of your staff if they knew they were doing their jobs 10% better.

  • What will it give you?

    The COVID pandemic has caused a cultural shift in how people learn and how they interact. We believe there will always be the need for highly skilled communicators who can engage students face to face. Some training subject matter will always be better if delivered in the same room as the students. However, even if working remotely the training fundamentals that we analyse in this programme; dynamic delivery, clarity of structure, superior listening skills and promoting student engagement become even more essential if delivered at a distance.

  • How much time will it save you?

    Studying this online programme, recorded live in class, means you can learn at your own pace, use otherwise unproductive time productively, explore and redo the exercises in your own time, to make sure that all the principles and techniques are truly embedded.

  • How much money will it save you?

    The cost of the course is £525, a saving of over £200 in comparison to attending the programme live in a classroom. The content is the same; the exercises are the same, and in some cases further expanded.

  • What will it do for your career prospects?

    As many people are at home waiting and hoping that the current business and health crises end soon, you could use the time creatively to develop a skillset that is essential not just as a trainer, but in any role of management, leadership or influence with others.

  • What will happen if you opt for the status quo?

    In life you are either moving forwards or moving backwards, you can never stand still. Using your time now means that when the crisis ends, you will emerge to find the world has moved on and left you behind.

  • Why do so many people drop out of their training career?

    Most students fall away from training, because their teacher was either: uninspiring, unresponsive or just unaware. Here is the answer: keep it simple, keep it clear and see it from the student’s point of view.

  • How much enjoyment/fulfilment will the course bring you?

    Over the last 20 years the Training the Trainer course has primarily developed with training in mind, but so much of the content can be applied to management, team-building and even personal relationships.

  • How's it going to change your life?

    Will this course revolutionise and change your life? It might do. But it certainly will provide you with a set of skills and insights that will benefit you both professionally and personally. There are many ambitious people in the world; few of them realise the importance of coaching and communication: the skills that are fundamental to this programme.
