Advanced Train the Trainer
At Bradfield we specialise in Training Trainers - we have been accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development to offer their Certificate in Training Practice since 1994.
For those trainers who have already been trained to train, this 3 day Advanced Train the Trainer programme provides a strategic view of training. This Train the Trainer course, which may be part of a strategic Training in HR Programme will provide successful delegates with an ILM Endorsement and a Certificate from the ILM.
Our programme is aimed at anyone who is experienced as a Trainer wishing to gain a more strategic understanding of training.
Course Aim:
The aim of the course is to enable delegates to move on from the role of 'passive provider of training courses' and to become strategic in the way that they operate. They will do this adding to their skills as deliverers of training an understanding of business plans. This will enable constructive dialogue with managers and stakeholders, a high-level TNA and formulation of a Training Plan.
