Train the Trainer
Why needed "There is nothing training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach. It can turn bad morals to good; it can destroy bad principles and recreate good ones; it can lift men to angelship" Mark Twain
This programme is especially designed for internal trainers and is packed with the tools and the methods that can impart genuine and long-lasting learning to their own participants. Trainers will explore a variety of ways to speed up the learning process and motivate participants to want to learn new skills, and adapt to new ways. It will also enable trainers to deliver not just theoretical knowledge but teach specific skills and techniques that enhance business performance in the workplace. Escalating local and global competitiveness coupled with a growing need to adhere to European and International standards, places increased performance demands on employees. Thus the on-going development of the workforce is critical to a business, and highly skilled internal trainers can play a significant role.
Who should participate The programme is aimed at internal trainers and supervisors, team leaders or managers who are responsible for training their staff.
