Train the Trainer Course - 1 Day

Trainers need skills relating to the:

1. Principles of memory.
2. Principles of teaching.
3. Principles of motivation.
4. 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.

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.

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.
