TRAIN THE TRAINER

Instructional techniques – Train the Trainer

SEPT 2022

Options available

1.Lantra accredited

Instructional techniques for the practical skills trainer. Non Assessed. Suitable for in- house delivery of training, tool box talks, induction training. 3 days.

2.Lantra accredited

Instructional techniques for the practical skills trainer. Assessed. 4 days.

Identical to above but as it assessed it is suitable for in- house trainers that may wish to develop their training skills from tool box talks and induction into delivering accredited skills training. Suited to persons holding certificates of Competence in those subject areas and can document training in- house to set objectives.

Assessment is made on a prepared Microteach of at least 15 minutes on a subject of trainee’s choice on day 4.

(It fulfils minimum requirement for Instructional techniques for Lantra. Technical assessment to become a Lantra Instructor can only begin once an individual has assessed Instructional techniques, appropriate first aid, and holds competence certificate in that skill area)

Our Lantra accredited courses have been designed specifically for PRACTICAL SKILLS INSTRUCTORS. We are practical skills Instructors ourselves, and feel that the level 3 award has too much emphasis on traditional classroom based teaching, and not enough recognition of the role of vocational trainers with technical expertise.

How and where?

If you are a corporate, that is up for discussion- we recognise that fluid delivery models are always needed in busy commercial sectors, and some sectors have specific needs.

We have run INTENSIVE courses – where the 4 days are delivered in 3 days, 9-6pm, or the 3 day non assessed in 2 days.
We have run them in 3 or 4 day blocks, and as 1 day a week over a month, and as short block with assessment a few weeks later .
We can run them at our training centre here in south Wales- just off junction 34 of M4.
Or we can run them at your chosen venue.
And we occasionally hold “open course” here at our venue when individuals can attend.

We have developed our Lantra accredited 4 day assessed course, it can be delivered alongside the 3 day course, as delivery content is identical. The assessment is arranged on 4^th day, as a planned microteach which is assessed. So it has the advantage of if some staff just need instructional techniques for in house training, and others need the 4 day assessed to deliver for awarding bodies, they can all attend the 3 days, and just the ones that need assessing attend the 4^th day .

Prices at our venue.

Lantra accredited Instructional techniques for the practical skills trainer. Assessed 4 days. £795 plus vat per person. Minimum of 4.

As you can appreciate, the training costs are largely the same for small or large numbers, so there would be room for negotiation if you wanted to put more than 4 on.

WHAT SOME OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID :-

“A course that taught teaching techniques and used them in its delivery”

“Very Educational and thought provoking-pleasantly surprised to see relevance to other parts of life- Thank you“

“Brilliant- great tips and tricks for the real world”

“Wasn’t sure what to expect, but so glad I came”

Other thoughts-

We can offer a “combo” of 3 day attendance course plus one of 3 units of level 3 education and training, but that still involves a lot of portfolio work, and theory submission which is often seen as overkill for a practical skills instructor in our field. Often requires an extra 1-2 days.

Level 3 Education and Training is a qualification.

It requires the submission of a theory based portfolio and delivery of a micro teach. 5 days delivery plus time for portfolio submission. This is the universal “Train the trainer” qualification, however it is not best suited to Instructors in practical skills areas, it is more relevant to college based Instructors. Level 3 Education and training would need to be delivered over a greater time period to allow for portfolio building. Usually 5-6 days in total, with a day a week, or 2- day blocks staggered over a month or two. Price on application.

Point to Note-

Our assessed Instructional techniques course does largely deliver the “teaching“ element of the Level 3 award, so in the future should you wish to progress to the award, then the submission of your portfolio with distance mentoring by us could be an option to explore
