Continuing professional development for trainers
Staying fresh and building on existing skills is essential for anyone involved in teaching and training. This programme builds on fundamental trainer skills and is an ideal follow up to the Trainer Proficiency certificate.
This programme is for you if
you are an experienced trainer and want to expand your knowledge. It provides additional knowledge and skills for designing, delivering and evaluating effective training programmes. There is an option for practical exercises to be videoed which can greatly enhance the value of the feedback given (this must be agreed at the time of booking). You may wish to bring some materials that will assist in practical sessions.
