Train-the-Trainer (T3)
Insights, Tips and Tools for In-House Trainers
This 20 hour training uses a blended instructional model to maximize content delivery. Participants experience first-hand the power of this model and how to adapt it to their in-house training program.
At the heart of our Train-the-Trainer philosophy is the notion: just because you know how to tie a bowline-on-a-bite doesn't guarantee you can effectively teach others how to tie a bowline-on-a-bite!
Our course introduces learning theory and myths to help participants determine the best methods used to teach adults the various components of challenge course operations. Teaching knots, harnesses, climbing, spotting and processing is only one example of how to train. We introduce the Total Planning Process ™ for preparing in-house training designs. This tool is useful for new CCMs who need to quickly craft a training plan for incoming staff; it is useful for experienced in-house trainers as well since it helps fill the gaps and increase training effectiveness by critically reviewing existing systems.
Additionally, what educator doesn't want to know the latest trends in improving instruction? If you are motivated to improve your training, this course is a great starting point.
