TPMA Train the Trainer and Assessment

Overview

The TPMA service from The Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) is transforming the quality of training. Launched in 2008, TPMA is the first industry certification that is focused solely on the needs of the learner. The 4-day course is aimed at novice and experienced trainers wishing to gain the Institute Certified Training Practitioner (ICTP) certificate, which is awarded by the Institute.

This course will improve your ability to provide training, either on a one-to-one basis or in a classroom. During the course you will have the experience of running two practical training sessions; the first will last for up to ten minutes, the second will be delivered as part of the TPMA Assessment. Time will be given during the course for the preparation of both sessions. You will benefit from this course if you need to deliver training programs or wish to improve your existing training skills.

QA also offer a 2 day TPMA Refresher and Assessment course for experienced trainers who wish to renew their ICTP certification, further details are available on: http://www.qa.com/QATPMA2.
