Course overview
Schouten China’s Training for Trainer Program contains all necessary knowledge and skills to start or deepen your career as a qualified trainer in the professional and personal development of people.
Introduction of the Course:
Schouten China’ s Training for Trainers International Certification Program combines all necessary skills you will need as a professional trainer. Before being rewarded with a globally recognized certificate, you will learn how to:
Have a real impact on learning and organizational results
A good design of your program will help you to put all your knowledge and skills together while offering your participants enough structure to open up and feel safe. You will learn how to have a positive impact by helping your participants to move through different learning stages: to know, to understand and to do. On top of that, you will also be able to adapt your design to the different learning styles of your participants (KOLB).
Position your participant in the center
Position your participant in the center: by conducting a valuable ‘personal goal setting interview’ and applying state of the art assessments you will learn to truly understand where your participants come from and what they need to make their next step. What are your participants’ strengths? Values? Dreams? Pains? Concerns? Provide a safe environment and be in contact with all participants. Every training program has its challenges: participants without learning goals, who challenge your authority or are maybe too eager to learn and take all the time and energy from others. Understand how to signal what’s happening in a group, and how to effectively use this to help the group and every individual to get the most out of their learning experience. Having a connection with all participants is a crucial component of this approach.
Use your ‘whole’ being as a trainer During the program, you will recognize your strengths as a trainer and human being, and you will have to use your unique parts in the best way possible during your training programs. Learn how to train ‘by example’ and encourage your participants to go outside their comfort zones to stretch, learn and grow.
Everything you need to be a professional trainer Participants disengage from their learning if the content of the program and the didactical instruments do not connect to individual learning objectives. Schouten China’ s Training for Trainers program will provide you with the right learning intervention tools and didactical instruments to effectively engage your participants and support them in their learning. Conducting role-play exercises to experiment with new behavior is an essential intervention tool you will learn to use in your unique training programs.
