Development Programme in Train the Trainer

The Business Learning Foundation - Experts at delivering results - Coaching, Leadership and Team Building

The Business Learning Foundation specialises in experiential learning and for 30 years have been providing world class learning and development solutions.

We develop training courses using unique and carefully devised exercises which will ensure the key messages are received. We offer Management Development, Team Building and Business Coaching provisions with our own range of psychometrics and eBooks to help support the development you choose.

There is no secret to becoming a successful trainer; it is about equipping yourself with the essential skills to deliver an engaging training session, meeting the needs of both the business and the trainees. Our consultants have established themselves as experts in the field of training and they will be able to guide you through the training process from start to finish, ensuring that you leave the programme with the relevant skills to achieve tangible results.

All delegates will receive a Business Learning Foundation certificate of attendance upon successful completion of the course.
