Train-the-Trainer
This course is intended for anyone who has a part in training and teaching adults in professional or volunteer roles, from soft skills to technical training, to annual compliance offerings. No matter the situation, training adults is a unique and challenging opportunity to improve and connect with learners at their level. This 12-hour course will focus on adult education best practices, including identifying learning styles, developing content and strategies for effective and efficient training programs. This course will also offer insight in how to assess whether training met its outcomes and how to gain buy-in from adult learners.
Learners should try to come prepared with questions and an idea of what training or teaching opportunities they will be providing to adult learners in the near future, but this is not required. There will be no required text for this course; all necessary review materials will be provided.
