Training Overview

Train the Trainers is a development program focused on strengthening training and facilitation competencies.

The program helps you systematically build your own training style and increase your effectiveness in group work.

Target audience

This training is designed for people who deliver training sessions, aspiring trainers, internal trainers, as well as specialists, team leaders, and managers who want to transfer knowledge more effectively and improve their presentation and group facilitation skills.

The training cycle begins once a group of at least 5 participants is formed—preferably with a relevant higher education background (psychology, sociology, MBA, education/pedagogy) and/or professional experience in HR, facilitation, or management.
