Empowerology

Train the Trainer

Description

This isn’t just a train-the-trainer course, it’s the Empowerology Train-the-Trainer Programme. Our training output is the kind of teacher/trainer that delivers an exceptional quality of learning in a high impact form regardless of the duration of any learning event. This programme enables you to challenge and stretch learners in a supportive manner that delivers significant behavioural change and adoption of principles and skills taught.

Our comprehensive approach to trainer development includes a bedrock of principles and learning theory delivered initially through a high quality e-learning approach, followed by an extremely hands on 2-day course that will augment and embed the knowledge, techniques, confidence and practical skills you’ll need to be a highly effective teacher and trainer regardless of whether you are teaching a formal skill, conducting small group teaching or delivering a formal presentation to a large audience. Designed to maximise the opportunity for individual practice, development and feedback, the maximum instructor-participant ratio for all practical sessions is 1 to 8.

Learning will be formally evaluated on day 2 of the programme with participants being granted certification at the following levels:

Completion (available to all completing the programme)
Success (those achieving 50% or greater on evaluation)
Distinction (those achieving 75% or greater on evaluation)

Pre-course preparation will be a requirement.

This course has CPD approval of 12 points for the full training package

Pre-course work

Each delegate will need to undertake an e-learning module before the course and will need to come prepared to teach a skill and with a presentation they have prepared in advance.

Course type and teaching methods

The course is highly participative and interactive utilising a whole range of teaching methodologies to aid learning as well as reinforce the range of teaching skills available. There will be ample time to evaluate and develop your own teaching effectiveness. Each participant will have the opportunity to do 2 observed 5 minute formal presentations with personal feedback, teach 2 skills, give feedback and participate in facilitating a small group teaching session. Because of this, numbers are kept purposefully small with a maximum of 8 trainees per instructor for the practical sessions.
