Overview
In “Train the Trainer” we combine fundamentals and practice: you get to know How adults learn, Learning objectives and session design and Method variety and activation, apply what you learn in exercises and receive templates and checklists for your own use.
Expertise alone is rarely enough at work: people who present convincingly, handle conversations with confidence, manage time and priorities and guide teams effectively deliver projects faster and with fewer conflicts. In the Train the Trainer training you practise exactly these skills in situations from your own working environment. We combine compact models with plenty of practice, role plays and personal feedback in small groups. Each course lasts one day and runs online or on site. You leave with proven techniques and a concrete plan for applying them in daily work.
The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
