Course description

Explore and assess the application of the key interpersonal and practical elements that underpin effective technical training.

Through a blend of pre-event preparation, immersive in-person sessions and structured workplace follow-up, participants will gain the confidence and tools needed to design, deliver and evaluate impactful technical training.

Emphasising experiential learning and peer feedback, this course empowers participants to develop their own training materials, foster learner engagement and deliver effective, hands-on training tailored to technical environments.

  • Post event learning in the workplace – opportunity to build on the feedback and practice in the workplace by developing a workbook, to help build on the contact time learning.
