Train the Trainer Workshop
Introduction:
How “Train the Trainer” supports CPD
Governments and professional bodies require organisations to provide continuous professional development (CPD) to ensure skills remain relevant and up to standard. Our “Train the Trainer Workshop” helps companies meet these requirements by equipping experienced employees with the skills to deliver structured, effective in-house training. This creates a sustainable system where knowledge is transferred consistently, employees stay compliant with CPD regulations, and organisations benefit from a stronger, more capable workforce.
- What’s the problem?
In every organisation, there are two groups of people: those who already know how to do the work, and those who are still learning. Experienced employees often perform tasks almost effortlessly, while newcomers need time and guidance to reach the same level of proficiency. Traditionally, it takes years of trial and error—the “school of hard knocks”—before new staff become experts. But this is slow, costly, and inefficient. A better system is needed to transfer skills effectively and consistently.
2. Why hasn’t the problem been solved?
Governments and industry leaders have recognised this gap, which is why legislation and policies now encourage continuous training and development. However, most experts and experienced employees have never been taught “how to teach”. Being skilled at a job doesn’t automatically mean being skilled at training others. Effective knowledge transfer is its own discipline—one that many professionals still need to master.
3. What is possible?
Our “Train the Trainer Workshop” bridges this gap. We help experienced staff and subject matter experts become confident trainers who can equip colleagues with the skills and competencies needed for success.
Participants will learn how to:
- Develop effective training modules and materials
- Apply the principles of criterion-referenced instruction
- Structure content for maximum impact and retention
4. What’s different now?
In today’s digital era, supporting new learners has never been easier. Trainers can now provide ongoing guidance, mentoring, and feedback beyond the classroom. Our workshop equips participants with both traditional and modern approaches to training—combining proven methods with digital tools to ensure learners thrive. Additionally, there are financial and organisational benefits for companies that invest in skilled in-house trainers.
5. What should you do now?
Don’t leave knowledge transfer to chance. Enrol in one of our upcoming “Train the Trainer Workshops” and fast-track both your own development and that of your team. By the end of the programme, you’ll not only be equipped to run engaging, effective workshops—you’ll also become a catalyst for growth in your organisation.
