Train the Trainer uses a mixture of group work, lectures and rehearsals to achieve these aims. Trainees then practice co-facilitating the courses with one of our lead trainers before being signed off when they are ready.

Assessment:

The time scale for this training may vary for each individual. All qualified trainers must comply with Me first terms.
