Essentials of Training Skills: BTEC Certificate Equip yourself with the tools, techniques and knowledge to turn a training idea into a training reality

An effective trainer needs more than just subject knowledge. Good training requires focussed planning, design, development and delivery.

Delivered over 3 days, this comprehensive workshop combines practical work with discussions and question & answer sessions. It provides a solid foundation in training design, development, delivery and evaluation techniques, which will enhance existing skills and build confidence in preparing and delivering professional training.

The workshop is an intensive training experience. The number of places will be limited to allow you to work through your own specific training issues and questions with the Consultant Trainer and complete the work required for your qualification.

Candidates will complete a number of short practical assessments, they will receive tutor feedback and support, and by the end of the workshop, they will have completed the qualification, subject to final verification.

Topics

The workshop covers all the curriculum requirements of the Professional Development Certificate, made up of four specialist units:

Design Training

This unit considers the design process in depth and will equip candidates to decide on the best strategies for their own training programmes. These intelligent planning and design decisions will lead to more efficiency in the development stages and training that is more likely to achive its aims when delivered. Full unit description.

Develop Training

This unit examines the evaluation of different types of training resource and how to identify the most appropriate resources to support a training session. Material in different formats such as printed or online are discussed along with the advantages and disadvantages of creating bespoke resources compared with using existing or external resources. Full unit description.

Deliver Training

This unit covers the delivery stage of training, including event administration, preparation of the environment and delivery of activities. It discusses strategies for smooth running events and also for when things don't go to plan. This is the stage of the training process that participants experience directly, so it is key to meeting the intended outcomes. Full unit description.

Evaluate Training

This unit considers how to implement a well structured training evaluation - essential to determine the success or failure of the training. Effective evaluation will also allow demonstration of value and benefit, understanding of the relative success of different parts of the training and improves planning for the future. The unit examines methodology, design, data collection and analysis techniques. Full unit description.
