Develop your subject matter experts into confident new trainers!
Train the Trainer in-house corporate development events
With Philippa Hammond
Brighton, Sussex, UK and beyond
Your people need to be able to achieve your organisation’s mission, vision and values – and to do that, you need great trainers.
‘You’re great at your job, so you’ll be great at training it!’
Sound familiar?
It’s a bit like saying ‘you’re a great football player – so you can drive the team bus to the next match!’
But do they understand how and why adults learn, current learning and development thinking, practical training, facilitation and presentation techniques that work?
Training’s a very particular set of knowledge, skills and mindsets – and these can be learned.
