Train the Trainer Course Overview

This course combines five themes.

Expert knowledge: Trainers cannot train what they do not know. Some trainers train simply by asking their delegates to express their opinions, which the trainer then writes on a flip chart. This is NOT real training. This is more akin to chairing a meeting. The first obligation of professional trainers is to ensure they really know their stuff. But then they also need…..

Understanding of how human memory works. Excellent trainers know how human memory works. Memory thrives on narrative structure, imagination, association, visualisation, repetition and interest. Consequently, trainers should use these same qualities in their training.

Understanding how human reason works. It is not enough to tell people what 'it' is. They want to know why it is, how it is, and what it is for? Excellent trainers always appeal to the inquisitive intelligence of their audience. Human reason works best with clear definitions, definite purpose, causes and effects, logical structure and specific examples. Consequently, excellent trainers use the same qualities in their training.

Understanding how to motivate an audience. Excellent trainers know how to motivate, by making their material both relevant and important to their audience. The best trainers link their training to the self-interest of their listeners. They frame their information to make it meaningful, relevant and important to each individual member of their audience.

Understanding the proper principles of human communication. Excellent trainers are also excellent communicators. They understand the power of words to create clear understanding, vivid images, strong feelings, and positive reactions. Excellent trainers also understand how to use voice tones, body language, and visual aids to assist in the delivery of their message.

This course is a masterclass in how to implement these five themes into your training.

Morning Session

Introduction

Training others is a high-level communication skill.

The job of the trainer is to help learners achieve the three levels of learning. As a trainer you have to be successful in all three areas. You need to make your message:

Relevant: gives the team motivation to pay attention.
Memorable: makes the message stick in the mind.
Understandable: makes the material usable.

How to make your message understandable

Structure your message like a tree
Define all your key terms
Make the links between ideas obvious

How to make your presentations interesting

Illustrate each key point with real life examples.
Involve your audience – if you don’t involve them they will drift off.
Give the audience tasks to work the material.

How to make your presentation relevant

Link the information to your listener's context.
Answer their question - so what?

Three trainer skills

Verbal clarity - specific notes and examples. Your language is crucial to your success
Logical structure - order your material. Your training material needs to be sorted into sets
Proper pacing - adjust the style: slow down and give sufficient time for your message to be assimilated. Pacing must be perfect

Afternoon Session

The Magnificent Seven Training Techniques

1. Preview and review: Let people know the structure before they get the details.

2. Mental association: Memory is often the art of associating what you need to remember to what you already know.

3. Visual support: Most people are visual creatures and need to see it to understand it.

4. Physical involvement: Some people are active learners and need to get to grips with it, in order to understand it.

5. Chunking-down: Everything can be seen as an elaboration of a simpler form. Sometimes it is useful to show the simpler form before you show them the elaboration.

6. Summing-up: Periodically sum up what you have covered so far.

7. Repetition: They must hear it more than once. Repetition is the mother of learning.

Distinguish between Understanding v memory v application

They need to take all three steps. They must understand and learn and use your material.

Understanding - The act of grasping the meaning
Learn - Storing desired information in the memory
Application - Using the new information in 'real life'

What skills do you need to be a trainer?

Trainers need skills relating to the:

Principles of memory.
Principles of teaching.
Principles of motivation.
Principles of communication.

How people memorise things, or fail to, and therefore how trainers should teach.

How to motivate an audience, and therefore how to effectively communicate, both in the spoken and written form.

These four themes are interrelated, and trainers need to understand each theme and how to apply the principles to their own training style. If you want to know how, please attend our course.

How do I make my training interesting?

You will make training interesting if you:

Link your information to the personal self-interest of your learners. You must make your lesson relevant and important to your listeners. Don’t think that your own enthusiasm is enough to impress others to listen to you. Nobody will listen to something that appears to be irrelevant to them.

Structure your information so that it comes to your listener as a comprehensible narrative. Bad trainers simply spew out information, in random order. That is akin to throwing a box of jigsaw puzzle pieces over the heads of your audience - they get all the information, but it is in a disjointed and incomprehensible format.

Your task as a trainer is to give the right information, in the right order, at the right pace. If you don’t do that, your audience will switch off.

What is the course training method? Is it interactive?

Yes. We have designed the training style to be highly interactive. We don’t use a single method; we vary the style.

Sometimes you are working independently, (for example, when you are scoring your own performance), then later, you will work in pairs.

Then later, we work together in groups.

There is always plenty of interaction.

There is never any “Death by PowerPoint”. So, you won’t feel bored, you will feel motivated. All the way through the course, you will feel completely engaged and involved.

We are often told by delegates that the course seemed to fly by, which is always a great sign!

You will find the course is well designed, easy to understand and apply in practice.

We have made this course very practical, beneficial and crammed with useful knowledge. You can be assured that you will find this course, interesting, well structured, practical and fun.

How do I make training memorable?

You make your training memorable by embedding a multitude of memory techniques into your presentation. Memory techniques such as:

Imagery. Make your material visual.

Coherence. Remember that an incoherent, self-contradictory message is impossible to understand, and therefore the mind expels it from memory. Therefore, make your message form a single, comprehensible narrative that has its own internal consistency.

Association. Associate your information to itself and to the lives of your listeners.

Repetition. Don’t be afraid to repeat yourself. Repeat yourself to make the message stick.

Humour. Everyone likes to be enterTRAINED.

What kinds of people attend this Train the Trainer course?

The people that attend this course, are likely to come from organisations that are going through a lot of change.

The delegates who attend this course all want to improve their ability to get the best performance from themselves and others.

Delegates are of all personality types, and you will discover that, although we are all different, we have a lot in common with others.
