Every organisation depends on people who can transfer knowledge effectively, whether that’s an L&D specialist designing a training programme or a subject-matter expert asked to train colleagues for the first time. This course builds practical facilitation, instructional design, and training evaluation skills, moving well beyond generic presentation tips into a complete, repeatable training design and delivery process.
The course is highly practical: every participant delivers and receives feedback on a short facilitated session by the end of the programme. You’ll work through needs analysis, adult learning principles, group dynamics, and evaluation and ROI reporting, leaving with the confidence and toolkit to design and deliver training that actually lands.
This course equips you to design, deliver, and evaluate training that closes real performance gaps and demonstrates measurable value to your organisation.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
