Who the course is for...

This basic introductory workshop is for anyone
who does some training in their work, but are not primarily employed as trainers. It will also be suitable for anyone who would like to develop training skills for the future.

It will give an overview of what is involved in providing effective training and an opportunity to plan a workshop programme.

Content…

Please note that

• time constraints mean that there will not be an opportunity for participants to practise delivery
• participants will be asked to do a small amount of preparation work before the training day
• the process as well as the content will be important and we will try to use a wide range of training methods during the course.
