Great trainers know how to run great sessions. They know how to plan courses, speak to delegates, answer questions, explain the difficult subject matter and encourage participation. Exceptional trainers know how to organise knowledge, properly present it in a variety of formats for delegates with different learning styles and preferences and talk about the topic in a way that the delegates can understand and learn from.
SkillsPlus Train the Trainer course aims to introduce the participants to the theory and practice that underpins effective assessment of learning and work-based practice.
