Experienced trainers who’ve never had formal training.
Also managers, supervisors, and business owners– anyone responsible for training their teams using either formal or informal methods.
Other participants include:
- Consultants who must give presentations,
HR personnel, and anyone who conducts policy, safety, or new employee training.
Essentially, anyone responsible for equipping others with knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes will learn ways to improve what they’ve been doing.
How will this course improve my performance?
When you know the most effective ways to transfer knowledge, you become more confident and valuable in your role. The content in this course equips you to teach effectively to all learning styles and give presentations that make an impact.
As a result, your learners become more engaged in the topic, increasing their attention during the training - and how much they remember afterwards
Quality training in the workplace has a significant, positive effect on employee satisfaction and employee retention.
How does Online Train the Trainer work?
Once you enroll you receive a password giving you access to online portion of the lessons 24/7. The program content is divided into several modules, each emphasizing a particular aspect of training.
Each general topic is comprised of individual lessons focusing on a specific training topic. For example, in the section on Individual Learning Styles, specific topics include right brain/left brain preferences; visual, auditory, and kinesthetic preferences; and how to use the accelerated learning method, among other topics.
Lessons are presented using interactive, easy-to-understand methods. We emphasize practical language and user-friendly techniques, not academic mumbo jumbo.
Will I be able to apply what I learned?
Throughout each lesson, you will be directed to apply your own workplace examples to the training. This highly individualized, one-on-one approach is unparalleled in the industry.
Can I go over the lessons more than once?
Yes. You are allowed to go back and review any part of the program at any time. And, you have access to a coach by phone 24/7! If you prefer, you can also communicate with your coach via email - or both!
Throughout the course are several graded quizzes. Questions are based directly on course material. To successfully complete the Online Train the Trainer course, you must receive a score of at least 85% on each quiz.
What happens if I don’t score 85% on a quiz?
Our objective is for you to learn. Therefore, we allow you to review a lesson and/or retake a quiz as often as you like. You are not punished for retaking a quiz.
How long will it take me to complete the course?
With steady progress several hours a day you will probably finish the course less than a week. If you take your time it will obviously take longer.
What do I need to know about enrollment?
Enrollment takes place right here online. The entire course is only $897. Just complete the enrollment form and choose your preferred payment method. After payment has been confirmed you’ll be sent your password and you can start the course.
If you should encounter any difficulty enrolling, contact the Center for Workplace Excellence at (208) 375-7606.
Does any software need to be installed?
Probably not. Lessons are created using Adobe® products and presented in Flash format. Since most computers (98% of them) already have Flash installed, chances are very good that this software already resides on your computer.
Quick Test: If you can watch videos on YouTube.com, that means Flash is already installed and your computer is ready to go.
In the rare event your computer does not have Flash installed, it is a free program from Adobe that can be downloaded here.
A Word About Workplace Computer Systems:
Many computer games require Flash. Therefore, your company may have removed Flash from its computers so employees don’t play computer games at work. If your workplace computer does not have Flash and your workplace does not allow you to download software, you may need to contact your IT department to get Flash installed.
What do I get that proves I completed the course?
Everyone finishing the course and scoring 85% or higher on the quizzes receives a Train the Trainer Certificate of Completion from the Center for Workplace Excellence.
Is it possible to study more and achieve Certified Trainer status?
