Train-the-Trainer Workshop: A Practical Approach to Training Adults is an engaging and powerful two-day "train-the-trainer" workshop that covers current and traditional adult learning theories and practical instructional design and delivery strategies and techniques. This workshop provides adult educators and trainers with basic knowledge, tools, and techniques to immediately enhance their adult learners’ experiences, expand their abilities to deliver quality learning events, and produce a sound return on investment.
Throughout the two days, participants will engage in several dynamic individual, small, and large group activities as well as complete a capstone project and presentation. They will also take away concrete strategies to apply to their own organizations’ continuing education and training (CE/T) programs and experiences.
This workshop content aligns with the ANSI/IACET 1-2018 Standard for Continuing Education and Training. It also prepares instructors and CE/T professionals (particularly those new to training and development and adult learning) to support their organizations’ accreditation efforts by providing high-quality learning experiences and programs.
Audience: This basic to intermediate level workshop is ideal for instructors and subject matter experts (SMEs) who help design and deliver training and development programs. It is also appropriate for individuals who are new to the fields of training and development, adult learning, and continuing education.
Delivery Options: This course is offered as a two-day, instructor-led class. The core content can also be customized and delivered on site based an organization’s unique needs.
