To some degree, everyone who answers questions about how to do a task, provides instruction, or presents information is a trainer. This course is designed so that the participants understand three of the key theories associated with training adults, how to evaluate training needs and design content to meet those needs, classroom management, and the importance of feedback during training. The final day of training also includes the opportunity for each participant to “train” the group on a topic of their choice. (8 contact hours)
