View the Train the Trainer course All Training & coaching courses →You know your subject. That is precisely why they asked you to pass it on. And then there you are, with twelve people looking at you, realising that knowing something and conveying it are two different things. Your knowledge is not the problem. The question is how to present it so that people do something with it on Monday.
This free online course is the starter for our full Train the trainer. In four chapters you learn how to present yourself in front of a group, how people learn according to Kolb's learning cycle and which four learning styles you will encounter in your room, how to choose training methods that match your objective, and what to do when a group works against you. Each chapter ends with a three-question knowledge check, so you notice straight away whether it is sticking.
The full course goes on to cover designing a programme: formulating learning objectives, getting a clear picture of your audience, the structure of your story, the running order and giving feedback. You also practise with your own mini-training course and see yourself on camera. If you want to take those steps with an experienced trainer alongside you, take a look at the Train the Trainer course.

IntroductionHow this free course is structured and what you learn in the four chapters.
1.-
Standing in front of a groupGrounding yourself, distributing eye contact, your position in the room, your voice as an instrument and turning stage nerves into energy.
2.-
How people learn according to KolbThe four phases of the learning cycle, the four learning styles in your group and what you do to make sure the learning leaves the room with them.
3.-
Choosing activating working methodsThe four levels of activation, eight families of training methods, a statement that opens up the discussion and a subgroup assignment that holds up.
4.-
Dealing with resistance in the groupThe five group phases, the intervention ladder from light to heavy and the need that lies beneath resistance.
5.-
From subject expert to trainerWhat changes when you move from specialist to trainer, the five success factors of a training course and your own style.
6.-
Training is communicatingThe sender-receiver model, quality times acceptance, the three channels and formulating more convincingly for a group.
7.-

8.-
Getting a clear picture of your audienceThe intake meeting with the client, gathering learning needs and managing expectations before the day begins.
9.-
Designing a training coursePurposeful programming in six steps, from learning objective to learning experience, and the nerve to cut material.
10.-
Providing structure in your storyThe opening, the middle and the close of your story, working with the attention curve and introducing an exercise.
11.-
The scriptWriting out your programme to the minute, getting the practical conditions in order and managing time during the day.
12.-
Giving feedbackFeedback as a learning tool, the four G's in an I-message and guiding the debrief.
13.-
Your mini-training course in practiceDelivering part of a training course yourself, reviewing yourself on camera, evaluating and growing further as a trainer.

I found the 'Interview Techniques' course to be good. Nothing to fault. It was also good that Job called beforehand for a short preliminary discussion. You don't see that very often. A very worthwhile course. It also had a strong element of repetition. Plenty of variety, including between theory and practice. Learned a lot, and applied it straight away during the course. And I think these learnings will also help me further when conducting interviews.

We took the Outlook, Teams and OneNote course with Roy Nieuwenhuijzen. Good content, and a few days before the course he got in touch with me (coordinator of the course, head of the secretariat). Pleasant that you can fill in the day itself as needed. The booklet for reference is rather dated, but apparently there is little up-to-date material to be found.

In May 2024 I took the WordPress course. As an IT enthusiast with broad but not necessarily deep knowledge, I wanted to know more about WordPress. How do you install everything and how do you start building a website. This course is extremely well suited to that. From the outset you learn in 3 days how to start a website and what to look out for. I now have a solid basis for getting to work with WordPress and I know my way around the various options. The course is recommended for anyone who wants to learn in three days what WordPress can do and how to apply it.

Your own motivation and commitment are essential if you want to master something new. You can get a long way with self-study. Learnit wants to contribute to this by offering valuable content such as free webinars and courses. This way you can get acquainted with new fields of learning. Once you have made a start, you may discover that there are also many advantages to taking a course at Learnit under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
In short, you achieve much more in less time.
The free courses are suitable for home study, as you can download them online as a PDF. The range of free courses consists of IT and Communication & Management courses. Would you like to learn more about these subjects, or is the subject you want to learn about not included? Then take a look at our courses.
In this workshop you take a closer look at Kolb's learning cycle and its four stages: experience, reflection, conceptualisation and experimentation. You gain insight into your own learning process and that of others, and learn how to apply this theory to increase learning effectiveness.
In the Developing Training Courses course you learn how to move from a learning question to a well-founded training programme. You work towards a script that you can put into practice straight away.
You are standing in front of the group and things grind to a halt. One person switches off, another sulks. In this course you learn to recognise resistance, diagnose it and turn it into room for learning.
In this six-month programme you will develop a personal and effective training style. You will learn to prepare, structure, deliver and evaluate training courses, with room for your own practice.
Learnit offers more than 300 IT and Communication & Management training courses. The courses are given as one-day or multi-day courses, and almost all of them can also be given as a workshop. In addition, Learnit offers courses as e-learning and as a combination of e-learning and classroom lessons.
Learnit has many locations throughout the country, so there is a good chance that a course is also given near you! A course can also be given in-company, in which case it takes place at your own company or organisation.
