Description

The Train the Trainer model is recognised as an industry standard for professionals who train others in the workplace or in a range of further education settings.  The skillset needed to deliver effective training interventions is complex and diverse requiring trainers to think critically, interact positively with clients and manage complex group dynamics. The learning and development landscape is constantly evolving, and trainers need to upskill and reskill to maintain their edge in competitive markets.

Our Train the Trainer (Special Purpose Award in Training and Development,6S3372) ensure that the knowledge and skills gained on our programmes conform to the most up to date developments in training in Ireland. Special Purpose Award in Training and Development (6S3372) consists of two modules, Training Delivery and Evaluation (6N3326) & Training Needs Identification & Design (6N3325). Both modules must be completed for the full qualification.

Our experienced, qualified and hands-on trainers will take participants through an interactive, challenging and motivational experience towards gaining a qualification in training and development.  Our train the trainer courses cover a wide range of topics including theoretical frameworks, best practice interventions, management of complex scenarios and group dynamics.
