Train-the-Trainer

There’s more to teaching than knowing your subject matter. You have to know your students and how they learn as adults. You have to understand group dynamics and manage interactions. You have to prepare your material and visual aids, and you have to deliver your sessions in a way that creates profound experiences for your students.

BMGI’s Train-the-Trainer course is an intensive skill-building experience that teaches attendees how to become better instructors, presenters, meeting leaders, mentors and coaches. Attendees learn the practices, behaviors and tools they need to improve audience participation, buy-in, comprehension, retention and application.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the adult learning cycle.
• Identify and appeal to four learning styles and seven types of “smarts.”
• Improve their training skills by preparing three video-taped practice sessions.
• Apply experiential learning principles to make facilitating/training more engaging and effective.
• Understand Hierarchical (lecture), Co-operative (activities) and Autonomous (reflection) training modes.
• Identify behaviors that contribute to confident presentations/facilitations.
• Set the scene using powerful openers and closers.
• Apply several curriculum “shaping” methods to improve participation and comprehension.
• Effectively deal with difficult audience/team members.
• Develop effective visual aids.
• Plan and organize training materials so sessions flow seamlessly from start to finish and knowledge retention is maximized.
