Course description
With today’s rapid pace of change and the need to disseminate information quickly, many organizations rely on internal staff, who have had little to no education on how to effectively train, to lead learning sessions on new products, processes or other critical information. However, many clients tell us that these training sessions often fail to achieve learning objectives because they don’t feel engaged, discussions go off-track, participants or the trainer dominate, etc.
As trainers and teachers, we know that the single most challenging thing to do is step off the podium and into the role of a facilitator of learning. We know real learning takes place when the trainer stops talking and invites learners to start talking and participate in the process. To do this, trainers need to practice the skills and processes of “facilitative training”.
