City & Guilds 7300 Introduction to Trainer Skills award.    Training is an important management skill that is often overlooked in formal management training.  You do not have to be a full time trainer to have training responsibilities.  These days most managers and supervisors will find themselves taking on the role of the trainer.  Managers, supervisors and trainers all need the opportunity to learn and develop their craft.
Who will benefit?
The City & Guilds 7300 Introduction to Trainer Skills award is the ideal qualification for those who train others in organisations. This course will be of benefit to professional trainers looking to develop their skills and will also benefit those starting out on their careers as full time trainers.  Managers and supervisors who find an increasing need to train people at work will also benefit from this course.
It’s an intensive course, delivered over two days, which provides the participants with a sound introduction to the concepts of a systematic approach to training.
Course content:
The course is based on the training cycle, covering:
·   planning (including session planning)
·   delivery (participants will deliver a 10 or 15 minute ‘session’ that they have  planned)
·   evaluation (self, peer group and course evaluation)
The course also covers:
·   setting ground rules
·   use of icebreakers
·   the learning environment
·   training resources
·   gaining and maintaining attention
·   motivation
·   assessment
The knowledge and practical skills gained on the course will be assessed by a multiple choice test and an observation (by the course tutor) of the participants’ delivered session, on which they will receive formal feedback. The idea of the assessment is not to set the participants up to fail, but rather to ensure that they have absorbed the knowledge and developed the skills necessary to be an effective trainer.
Course Cost:
Cost is only £275 plus VAT per person which includes training, registration, certification, refreshments, lunches and all course handouts.
