COURSE OVERVIEW:

Many organisations host or participate in a variety of training events, large and small, throughout the year. When properly executed, these meetings and events can deliver a tremendous return on investment in terms of exposure, education, marketing, sales or other objectives.

That is why organisations turn to employee training and development to prepare for the future. Training helps them refresh their workforce, adopt new technologies, and enter new markets. A badly planned or wrongly executed training event, however, can sabotage these efforts and hold a company back, costing it millions in lost revenue.

Training is a great way to develop and enhance skills amongst employees. It also plays a vital role in engaging employees and building a more efficient work environment. It is even more important in today’s business world that self-managing employees can make decisions themselves.

A training event provides education value to attendees. Whether you’re planning a corporate and team skill training or a general certification class, training sessions can include anything from lectures and evaluations to discussions and demonstrations.

As a trainer or facilitator you want to deliver the most effective training possible. This involves engaging a range of different learners and finding methods to support their learning.

No one wants a training event to go over better than you—the person who is planning it. You’ve probably written out a plan, cross-compared venues, and options for price and value, and spent hours on the internet researching the best methods.

When running training events for people you don't already know, there's no second chance for you to make a good first impression! It's also important to set the tone well in the way you introduce yourself to your participants. It's also a good idea to help participants to get to know each other in a way that will help them to interact productively together in your sessions.

In this course we reveal the secrets to organising, planning and executing a successful training event. This includes the best formats, effective training techniques and how to overcome issues that you may encounter.
