Train The Trainer

Training is one of the most important investments an organization can make. Many organizations have increased the use of in-house experts for training. It's less expensive than bringing in an outside consultant, and learning is more focused and more specific to the organization.

While you have the content knowledge, you may need some coaching on the basics of effective presenting and training. This manual is designed to give you fundamental skills in conducting a training session.

Course Content

In this module we will discuss the following topics:

• How to select a subject and define your audience
