Build Confident, Capable Trainers
Delivering training might look easy — but creating learning that truly sticks takes skill, intention and practice. LDL’s Train the Trainer programme equips you to design and deliver powerful, participative training sessions that both transfer knowledge and inspire people to put that knowledge into practice.
You’ll work hands-on: designing sessions, delivering mini-modules, receiving video feedback, refining your style and mastering the full cycle from objectives to evaluation. We focus not only on how to teach, but how to engage, motivate and embed the learning.
This programme is highly practical and experiential: you build your trainer ‘muscles’ best by doing, reflecting, iterating. You both give and receive feedback. Step by step you are taken through everything necessary to run your own professional training programme.
