Term2.png Training of Trainers
Training designed for people who will train others on the same subject. For a training of trainers programme to be effective it is crucial to train people who are not only interested in the topic, but also in learning how to train others on the same subject. An aspect to care about is the importance of fostering participants’ motivation, in order to avoid the loss of future trainers’ drive through the train the trainer chain. At the end of a "Train the Trainer" course, participants should have learned:

The basic principles of learning

  • The importance of good communication in a training course
  • The characteristics of a good trainer
  • The steps to follow to plan a training course
  • Different training techniques (at least five). [1]
