Introduction

The new City & Guilds Introduction to Trainer Skills (7300) will be available from mid-July 2007. It’s an ideal qualification for those who train others in organisations. It’s an intensive course, delivered over two days, which provides the participants with a sound introduction to the concepts of a systematic approach to training.

Course content

The course is based on the training cycle, covering:

• planning (including session planning)
• delivery (participants will deliver a 15 minute ‘session’ that they have planned)
• evaluation (self, peer group and course evaluation)

The course also covers:

• setting ground rules
• use of icebreakers
• the learning environment
• training resources
• gaining and maintaining attention
• motivation
• assessment

The knowledge and practical skills gained on the course will be assessed by a multiple choice quiz and an observation (by the course tutor) of the participants’ delivered session, on which they will receive formal feedback. The idea of the assessment is not to set the participants up to fail, but rather to ensure that they have absorbed the knowledge and developed the skills necessary to be an effective trainer.
