Course Description

Do you remember the last training course you attended? Was it merely the transfer of information, or a real learning experience that left an impact on you? In today’s world, a trainer is no longer just a conveyor of knowledge—they are a designer of learning experiences, a facilitator of engagement, and a creator of impact. This Train the Trainer course equips participants with the tools and methodologies needed to move from being a participant to becoming an influential trainer.

• Differentiate between teaching and training, understand the training process framework, and apply this understanding to design programs that are contextually and learner-appropriate.
• Understand the components of a training package, craft SMART objectives, and convert training needs into measurable, achievable goals.
• Analyze trainee profiles using models such as MBTI and VARK, understanding individual differences in thinking, interaction, and learning, and use this insight to design and manage training effectively.
• Identify training needs and skill gaps and build programs that address them efficiently.
• Design and implement active, interactive training activities based on modern strategies that maximize participant engagement.
• Manage discussions, questions, and unexpected situations in the training room professionally and confidently.
