About the event

The Introduction to Trainer Skills course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of a systematic approach to training. It is comprehensive in content, building the skills, knowledge and abilities of participants that are required to be an effective trainer, irrespective of the subject being taught. This hands-on course is ideal for anyone who delivers training to internal staff, volunteers or external partners, no matter the topic. The course is equally valuable for those who want to gain new skills and the confidence to present information in a clear and engaging way, whether passing on your practical skills to new audiences or hosting inclusive and engaging knowledge shares and workshops.

Who is this course for?
This accredited qualification is aimed at individuals who may have to deliver training internally or externally as part of their role or those considering offering tuition in their own specialism. The concepts explored in the course are applicable to any type of sector or interest, whether teaching practical/vocational skills or working in more theoretical 'classroom' type settings. 
 

What is covered?
The course is based on the training cycle, covering three main areas:

1. Planning: Learn how to plan a structured session and how understanding the needs of your audience can deliver better outcomes for your audience

2. Delivery: Participants will deliver a 15 minute 'session' in a supportive group environment on a topic of their choice that they have planned using skills learned on the course.

3. Evaluation: Learn how to evaluate your own sessions, as well as peer group and course evaluation.
