When
to run a Train-the-Trainer program?
- You are looking for a sustainable model for training internally, so you do not depend on external providers for every topic
- You want to establish a single standard for design and facilitation for all trainers in the company
- You have internal experts, but knowledge is not transferred systematically and quality is uneven
If you recognize one or more of these signals, let’s talk.
What is the scope of Train-the-Trainer?
The content and scope of the Train-the-Trainer program depend on the participants' current level, the organization's goals, and the type of training the internal trainers will deliver.
Topics
can be covered in full or combined to meet your needs:
Trainer presence and influence on the audience
Making your content engaging and interesting
Interactive learning process
Learning styles
Elements of training session design
Types of objectives in training
Types of interactive training methods and techniques
The link between a learning objective and a training method
Group dynamics: stages of group development, roles, learning environment, relationships
Individual processes: motivation, level of retention, learning curve, resistance
The roles of trainer and mentor
When internal trainers will mainly deliver training online, we recommend running the Train-the-Trainer program online as well. Participants learn the principles while directly experiencing facilitation techniques for a digital environment.

FAQ
Within one organization, participants may include employees preparing to become internal trainers, as well as those who will oversee training and internal development programs.
Internal trainers from different organizations can participate in our open Train-the-Trainer programs.
Train-the-Trainer usually ends with a participant-led module: groups develop part of a real training session, deliver it to the group, and receive detailed feedback and recommendations from the facilitator.
If the organization wishes, the facilitator can subsequently observe real training sessions and provide guidance on design and facilitation.
