Train the Trainer - ILM (Institute of Leadership & Management) Development Programme

This three day course is unique to Cosensa and provides delegates with the special ability to effectively train staff. Training must have specific objectives, be well structured and include elements of evaluation for it to be truly effective. Train The Trainer provides delegates with the skills to design, train, assess and track effective training programmes. Delegates will learn how to design training for groups of varying sizes, learning styles and experience. We focus on delivery skills (body language, voice projection etc.) including classic techniques about handling difficult trainees and controlling the group.
