TRAIN The TRAINER

 Training departments are beginning to realize that people DO NOT learn effectively by passively consuming information. It is a waste of training dollars and yields low return on investment.

  Most training programs are done passively in a teacher-student format and done perfunctorily. Many corporate internal training departments do realize the need for well trained trainers to impart / transfer knowledge.

  Participants typically retain 5%-30% of information in average training programs. We show you how to increase retention up to 90% and for a longer period of time.

  Our “Train the Trainer” program helps beginner and practicing trainers develop their own individual styles of training, while equipping them with the skills that are necessary to create interactive, experiential and effective learning environments in the class room. This program is useful for employees whose responsibilities include training and education of other staff as well as those who are interested in entering the challenging profession of training and facilitation.
