Trainers are the centrepiece of a memorable and successful training session. This course aims at providing trainers with the knowledge and skills required to design and deliver their training sessions. A trainer's journey on this course begins with an understanding of how adults learn and covers various learning styles, skills of trainers, various learning methods, activities and exercises, the designing of training programs and ends with the delivery of training.

The highly experienced course leader will lead from the front, demonstrating the techniques taught and allowing delegates to experience them first hand. Coaching will be provided to you as an aid to development and as a tool, you can transfer to your own work.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• List various adult learning principles and their implications on the delivery of training
• Identify and develop skills required in successful trainers
• Examine training methods and determine the most appropriate one for their training workshops
• Write specific Instructional Learning Objectives (ILOs)
• Apply training models in the design and delivery of training programs
• Develop blueprints for training sessions
• Plan and deliver a training session relevant to their areas of expertise

This course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes stimulating presentations supporting each of the topics together with interactive trainer lead sessions of discussion.

There will also be many practical sessions where participants can practice and experience course-related activities. Practical and fun exercises, short video presentations, small group work, case studies, feedback and coaching will be used to facilitate learning.
