Description
This train-the-trainer e-learning course is aimed at teaching the basic skills needed for a corporate trainer to lead training sessions for groups of adults in a classroom setting.
This course will help you understand how to run courses that are engaging, fun and useful for your participants.
This train-the-trainer e-learning course is centred around the idea that a trainer needs to be a facilitator, rather than simply delivering knowledge.
The course covers topics such as the principles of adult learning, how to keep your learners actively engaged, how to plan and deliver a lesson, and how to learn from your own practice through reflection.
This training course also provides you with some tips and ideas on activities you can run during the sessions, and the logistics of how to facilitate these activities.
Learning how to teach is a continuous process and it is dependent on practice so, as a trainer, you are always learning throughout your career. Your learning will not stop after taking this course.
