Trainer Essentials

Regardless of situational differences, the core competencies needed for success as a trainer and educator are identical. 

Some trainers choose their profession; others are chosen to teach because they are high performers on the job; and still others are thrust into educating colleagues because there’s no one else to do it. Regardless of situational differences, the core competencies needed for success as a trainer and educator are identical. Those core competencies are the focus of the Trainer Essentials course, which is designed to teach and reinforce the skills, techniques, and tools essential to classroom trainers and on-site educators. Whether the subject to be taught is a healthy diet for diabetic patients or the process for creating an electronic spreadsheet to store important data, this course will teach participants how to develop and deliver training that achieves maximum results no matter what the subject is.

Trainer Essentials is the base program for Trainer Certification. To obtain certification additional assignments, modules and presentations must be completed. Certification details will be covered during the Trainer Essentials course.  

The Trainer Essentials course is comprised of six four-hour training sessions, delivered in two-week intervals over a period of ten weeks. Each session is packed with valuable, foundational information and includes ample learner participation and hands-on application experience. The curriculum is designed around the highly effective ADDIE model of instructional design, organized as follows:

  1. Analyze
  2. Design
  3. Develop
  4. Implement
  5. Evaluate
  6. Apply
