Train-the-Trainer:How Adults Learn and Creative Facilitation Techniques

Train-The-Trainer promises to help you revolutionize how you train employees.

The ways we train and develop our people in the professional world are in continual change and growth. We will adapt and learn, or not. Times and technology change frequently, as seen by the COVID-19 pandemic, while how people LEARN and GROW has stayed more constant. We will experience and apply tools to stay true to what works in teaching working professionals while adapting to new delivery methods and platforms both in-person and virtually.

Participants of the Train-the-Trainer program will learn the essentials of the training function and directly apply new content to their jobs while exploring the best in-person and online training practices. You will learn the keys to teaching virtually, both with and without PowerPoint!

Whether you are a seasoned pro looking for a refresh or are new to the game and require a strong foundational knowledge in critical training skills, the Train-the-Trainer program will leave your audience praising your training abilities. Come join us for the nation’s highest-rated Train-The-Trainer program. Take training to an entirely new level!

Train-the-Trainer is presented in two formats: a 2-day and a 4-day experience. This 2-day experience is the first half of the 4-day program and focuses on how adults learn and how to facilitate creatively. The 4-day program builds off of this foundation to explore training design.
