'We learn best when we hear it, see it, and do it'

Who Should Attend: This programme is a shorter tailored version of 'Training for Trainers' aimed at those who are required to deliver less formal 'on the job' training to small groups outside of a training room environment - such as on the shop floor.
Objectives: 1) To provide delegates with practical techniques for the preparation and delivery of training to small groups. 2) To enhance the trainers' ability to communicate confidently, clearly and precisely; to motivate trainees and to handle questions & feedback sessions effectively.
