Train the Trainer

Those who are new to working in a training or coaching capacity and those who would like to review their existing skills in delivering technical, theoretical or practical knowledge and information.

The practice sessions involve all participants in reviewing each person's training content and delivery, together with the trainer, to ensure maximum feedback and sharing of good practice. Each attendee will receive written feedback and a comprehensive resource manual of course notes, tips and techniques.
