IACET Announces New "Train-the-Trainer" Program
IACET is excited to announce that it has successfully tested its new “train-the-trainer” curriculum in test markets around North America, South America, the Middle East and is now making this popular two-day seminar available to groups who want to help instructors maximize their potential whether they are teaching online or in the classroom.

The Instructional Design Principles for Adult Learning Seminar provides a succinct and powerful two-day "train-the-trainer" program that will provide educators and trainers the ability to immediately improve education, enhance adult training techniques, and produce a return on investment. This program is offered exclusively by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), one of the world’s top non-profit education and training accreditation organizations. The seminar is designed to help ensure instructors are trained in adult learning principles that support the ANSI/IACET 1-2013 Standard for Continuing Education and Training. Keep in mind, this is not a seminar about how to achieve accreditation, but how to prepare instructors to meet a quality standard in instructional facilitation.
