Mastering Training Techniques Part 1: Train the Trainer (1 Day)
VERSION: 1.0
Too many educators make training more complex than it really is. This one-day course will teach trainers how to meet the needs of their participants, how to develop any subject into a training session, how to use activities and learning aids, and how to be a good trainer that people will ask to learn from again and again. Regardless of your experience, anyone can use this course to help plan for the next training assignment. Participants will give one four-minute presentation in this class.

Prerequisites
To profit from this course you need to:

What we require of you
For the onsite class, you must show up for class on time and remain until it is completed (approximately 7-8 hours each day). You will interact with other learners, complete writing exercises, and ask questions when confused.
For the online class, you will take this course at your own pace. Although we estimate you can complete this course in 14 hours, you have up to ten weeks. If you are new to self-directed learning, you may find this style of learning fresh—and a bit frightening. You learn by doing. You alone are responsible for your own learning. That means you must have the drive and discipline to see the course through.
Before you start
- Review your own schedule to make sure you have the time to give to this learning process.
- For the onsite class you have no pre-class readings or activities.
- For the online class you need to review this document, the terms and conditions, and technical requirements to make sure that you meet all of them (see links below).
- After reading this entire description, proceed to the Register page when you are ready to sign up.
