Find out how the train the trainer model works and which course would be the most suitable for your needs Background information and resources for train the trainer courses that we hope you find useful We've all heard how important it is to train staff, but what about training the staff who train the staff? According to the Education Resources Information Center, the Train the Trainer approach involves training one person who, in turn, trains other people. This way, when a training session is completed, a ripple effect is generated throughout the business. As the new skills disseminate and more people are trained, productivity and profits increase. The organisational benefits of the model has led to its adoption in many industries, from healthcare to the corporate world. It just makes sense. Why train only one individual when you can build a pool of competent trainers? Enlisting the services of external trainers allows in-house trainers to gain a fresh perspective. Combine this with their existing knowledge of their business and they can create more effective training programmes.
