A Practical Certification Course for all Trainers, Instructors & Industrial Faculties. Ideal course for Aspiring HR, OD, and Soft Skills Training Professionals.

Training is an art of effectively transferring the desired knowledge and skills to a group of learners leading to skills development. It’s a systematic and planned process which needs a lot of research of the subject and also of the learners. It is result specific and focused process. The content and the methodology is decided by carefully aligning the outcome with participants readiness. Creating the right environment of learning by motivating the participants, engaging them and involving them through interactions, activities and exercises is very critical to achieving the desired behavioural change.

Delivering the training is an art in itself. Just being the subject matter expert is not enough. As a trainer one must learn to analysis the topics and break the contents in order to simplify it for all for learners to understand and assimilate. At the same time it is needed, to keep the curiosity high among learners along with interest in the subject. Now how to do this, is something which needs to be learnt from an expert. It is here we need coaching and guidance. It takes a lot of time and experience to master this art. Every topic is unique and demands a different design and methodology.

And to add to the challenge every group of learner and their reaction to training is also unique. So every session is a challenge for trainers. More they do less they feel. This calls for the need of an expert intervention in the process of learning training methods and delivering it effectively.

For whom?

For Training Professionals

This training & development course is designed exclusively for people who want to become trainers. And for those who are in training but have no formal education in training. This is more than a train the trainer course. This is also for those who are working in training & development department with relevant qualification but still want to sharpen their skills and learn new ways to impart training and education with increased effectiveness. Though trainers practice in the field of training but many of them do not update themselves with time. Formal course is needed so that they refresh their training skills and keep learning. With time, the participants and their expectations also change so the methodologies need to be fine tuned accordingly.

For Teachers & Faculty – Faculty Development

This training and development course is a great value addition for teachers and those who are in teaching profession. Teaching is a profession of great responsibility as teachers handle and train our future workforce. The knowledge, values and skills imparted to the students decides the destiny of society and the country. If teachers fail to teach with the right intent, imparting right values and right knowledge  they are not doing justice to their profession. So it is important for the stakeholders to ensure that only the best teachers are selected and brought into this profession. Teachers must not only be academically brilliant but also must have the passion, love and desire to make a positive difference in the lives of students. Teachers have to play role model, mentor, counsellor, motivator and leader for students. At the same time they must also feel the need to be aware of the socio-economic, political, technological and job oriented changes happening around. Many teachers get so busy in teaching and routine day to day affairs of the school and their personal lives that they fail to upgrade themselves. This reflects in their quality of teaching. As a result students suffer and the learning is compromised. They must be given regular inputs in newer teaching methodologies, researched, and practiced in current times along with the softer aspects of teaching like playing the role of a motivator and mentor. Technical and emotional aspects should both be balanced during teaching only then they can do real justice to their jobs.

Need for Faculty Development Programme & Train the Trainer Programme

There are many people who want to become technical trainers, soft skill trainers, corporate trainers or get into teaching profession. Unfortunately there are hardly any institution where practical, on-the-job, and real time trainer the trainer programme, training and development course is being organised. There was always a need for a practical, hands on course in training, where aspiring trainers learn to become trainers by actually doing practicals in training. A course where they learn to use the concepts of training by putting them into practice and learn by delivery. Ofcourse importance of theory can’t be denied but along with theoretical lessons practice must also be provided.

Useful for Corporate Trainings

Imparting education and skill development to its people is one of the most crucial skills that an organization must possess. Transfer of knowledge is very important for growth and development of an organization. Often this transfer is effectuated through training which is facilitated by in-house training professionals. To ensure an effective and smooth transfer of knowledge, organizations need to develop a team of trained training professionals. This is achieved by organizing faculty development programmes on regular intervals. This “Training of Trainers” through this certificate course in training is one of the training initiatives exclusively designed for faculty development. This training and development course aims at developing in-house faculties by giving specific training inputs helping them sharpen their training skills making it interesting & effective.

Our Practical approach in Training

In this training and development certification course we have tried to incorporate the missing link of training practicals. We make trainers do a lot of mock trainings by making participants implement the learnings in classroom. Trainers are also given assignments to design their own trainings and create lesson plans. Another important feature of this training is real time experience. Participants are taken to real training sessions and made to observe and learn. They are also given assignments to deliver programmes and take classes in a real training environment.
