About the Course

We all remember the impact of a brilliant teacher from our childhood, the power to inspire us to learn and to hold that knowledge and experience through life, yet if asked to define what made that teacher inspiring, we can never quite identify what it was they did or said or why it resonated with us as learners. To be a great teacher is an art requiring knowledge, skill, behaviours, and above all, passion. Moving education into the world of work requires an additional dimension; the ability to engage the adult learner who now has views and opinions that may influence what they choose to learn.

This highly-interactive Train the Trainer virtual training course contains all the aspects required to become a skilled trainer. It introduces the delegates to the psychology of effective learning, techniques for superior design, and the delivery of content either face-to-face or virtually, including audience engagement through effective public speaking.
