What will you learn in the Train the Trainer programme?

You learn to prepare, structure and deliver training courses with your own effective style. You work on teaching skills, creative learning activities, dealing with difficult questions and resistance, and adapting to different learning styles. Online training is covered as well.

Who is this train-the-trainer programme intended for?

The programme is intended for anyone who wants to develop as a trainer. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience, you work on a personal and effective training style. The programme suits people who want to specialise in a focused way without studying full time.

Do I need any prior knowledge to take part?

No, no prior knowledge is required. The programme is suitable for both new and experienced trainers. Because you work with your own practical examples, it matches your level and your learning objectives.

How is the programme structured?

The programme consists of three blocks of two course days, a webinar on online training and a follow-up day after two months. Between the blocks you work on assignments, e-learning and peer supervision. You have an online coaching session with your trainer and finish with a mini training course.

Do I receive a certificate on completion?

Yes. On completing the programme, you receive a Learnit certificate of participation. This demonstrates that you have successfully completed the Train the trainer programme.

Can I also take this programme as an in-company course?

Yes, the programme can also be taken in-company or as a bespoke course. In that case we tailor the content to the practice and objectives of your organisation. Get in touch for the options and a tailored quotation.

What is the difference between this programme and a short Train the Trainer course?

A short course gives you the basics in a few days. This six-month programme goes much further: you work systematically on your training style, deepen your teaching skills, practise creative learning activities and deliver a mini training course yourself. The time between the blocks gives you room to practise in your own working environment.

How do you work on your own training style?

You receive feedback from your trainer and course group, reflect on the way you work and practise with various teaching approaches. By bringing in your own cases, you discover your strengths and pitfalls. Peer supervision and the online coaching session help you to embed the insights.

Do I also get tools for training online?

Yes. In a separate webinar you experience the power of online training. You learn which learning activities work remotely, how to keep engagement high and which pitfalls to avoid. You receive concrete tips you can put to use straight away.

How much time does the programme take besides the course days?

Allow for a few hours a week for assignments, e-learning, self-study and peer supervision. The exact time investment depends on your prior knowledge and how deeply you want to delve into the material. The assignments are designed to connect to your own work, so you can apply them straight away.

What does the follow-up day involve?

Two months after the final block, the group comes together once more. We refresh the key course material and use your practical examples to look at how your training skills are developing. You discuss what you still want to learn and receive tools to develop further in a targeted way.

What does the Train the Trainer programme cost?

You will find the current price at the top right of this course page, together with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.

Being a trainer takes more than subject knowledge. You need teaching skills, a style of your own and the ability to tune in to your group. In this programme you work on all of that over six months.

Description

Good trainers make a connection, transfer knowledge and know how to get a group moving. That calls for teaching skills, self-knowledge and a well-stocked toolkit of working methods. In this programme you build these up step by step, taking your own practice as the starting point.

You gain a complete picture of your strengths as a trainer and where your pitfalls lie. You learn to prepare, structure and enliven training courses. You practise with creative working methods, get to grips with learning styles and learn how to deal with difficult questions and resistance. Online training is also covered, so you know how to keep remote groups engaged.

Between the blocks you work on assignments, e-learning and peer consultation. You have an online coaching session with your trainer and conclude the programme with a mini training course that you deliver yourself and reflect on with your group.

Result

After this programme you have a personal and effective training style. You know your strengths and pitfalls, you prepare courses in a structured way and you effortlessly tailor your approach to the group. You apply creative working methods, deal smoothly with difficult questions and resistance, and deliver stimulating training courses both on site and online. You have delivered a mini training session yourself and you know how to keep learning from feedback.

Target audience

This programme is for anyone who wants to develop as a trainer. Whether you are just starting out or already have some experience, you work on your own style and build a solid foundation. The programme suits people who want to specialise in a focused way without it becoming a full-time study.

Teaching method

The programme consists of three blocks of two course days, a webinar on online training and a follow-up day after two months. In addition, you work with assignments, e-learning, self-study and an online coaching session with your trainer. Together with a few fellow participants you form a peer review group to exchange experiences. You conclude with a mini training course that you deliver yourself and on which you reflect.

Prior knowledge

No prior knowledge is required. The programme is suitable for both new and experienced trainers.

Comments

Learning by doing. That is central to all our programmes. In a safe training atmosphere we practise realistic situations from your day-to-day work in small groups (max. 8 participants per course). The more questions and cases you bring in yourself, the more you will get out of the programme. This way you discover during the programme which training techniques and training formats suit you best, and you can develop your practical skills further straight away. Our trainers combine teaching skills with their practical experience.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

The best training for you

At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.

Moving forward together

Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.

Apply it directly in your work

Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.
