Course Structure
The course is usually delivered as two days of classroom training. The second day can be immediate, or about four weeks later to allow you time to practise and gather evidence in between. Each of the days is outlined below:
Day 1: Underpinning Knowledge
You will attend a trainer-led course where you will learn all about what is involved when facilitating training with groups and individuals. The subject matter will include:
- Responsibilities and traits of an instructor
- The training cycle
- Planning
- Methods of delivery
- Learning styles
- Feedback
- Next steps and your continuing online support
The duration of this first day is approximately 6 hours. For the remainder of the day you should prepare material for Day 2, using the knowledge you have gained. It would be a good idea to attend this first day with an idea in mind for the session you will deliver on Day 2. You may want to think about any props you might need, so please read ahead.
Day 2: Training Individuals
This will be provided either immediately or a few weeks after your first group session and will involve giving another 15-minute presentation as a 1-2-1 training session. Again, you will be assessed and expected to have incorporated the guidance given to you in your group session. You should prepare your presentation in advance and be ready to deliver your 1-2-1 training.
