Course Description

People who work as trainers are often put into difficult situations without much understanding of what training is or how to do it well. We know that being a good trainer is the result of developing skills to bring information to an audience. This information will then engage, empower, and encourage continued learning and development. This intensive training course is designed to provide participants with an up-to-date overview of preparing, delivering and evaluating training in a professional manner. It covers the active adult learning, assessment, objectives, experiential learning and active training; the training need analysis and the types of training materials; developing course content and selecting training materials and audio visuals; the characteristics of successful trainers; the effective communication and reading body languages; dealing with difficult participants; presentation skills; delivering with confidence and persuasive presentations; the confidence and self-esteem; the efficient use of instructional time; and motivation.
