Train the Trainer

Train the Trainer course is offered by The Development Company

Train the Trainer courses are essential if you are intending to design and/or deliver any sessions.

Most training is not about a transfer of knowledge. If you are a good trainer, you should minimise your focus on knowledge and concentrate more on facilitating the group you are working with to enable them to learn.

Our Values

• We are proud of our values and our commitment to work in partnership with our clients.
• Our Values have been developed and agreed by the whole team.
• This reflects our ethos of shared ownership of everything that we do.

Our Approach

• Initially, the training needs are discussed with the person who commissions the training (sponsor). We then need contact by telephone or e-mail, ideally, with each person attending the programme to establish their expectations and needs. If these needs differ greatly from the needs of the sponsor we will then go back to the sponsor and agree what the final design should cover.

• When the course starts we find out the current issues facing each delegate regarding the subject being covered. This is to ensure we are aware of, and can deal with, real problems currently being experienced by each delegate. We will contract with the delegates as to the issues we can deal with during the course, given the constraints of time and other subject matter already being covered.

• For courses of more than one day’s duration, we review each morning the material covered on the previous day to ensure that the delegates are satisfied with what we have done and will make changes as appropriate. At the end of the course each delegate will complete our end of course evaluation form and a copy of this will be given to the course sponsor.
