This course
has been developed as a successor to the CIEH Group
Training Certificate, which since 1995 has been the
benchmark trainer skills qualification for CIEH registered
tutors.
The qualification provides an opportunity
to understand and practice a professional approach to
training design and delivery, with a structured syllabus
and assessment opportunity.
It is ideal for anyone who needs to either
understand the basics of training practice, or wants
to refine their training techniques. Those who have
never delivered training before will find it an ideal
basis for their future training activities. The qualification
is essential for those who wish to become CIEH registered
trainers (certain other training qualifications are
also recognised, and conditions regarding technical
knowledge and experience also apply).
The programme involves a significant amount
of hands-on activity with additional work outside the
sessions to develop the content and materials for assessment
on the final day.
The qualification will enable successful
candidates to understand and put into practice the following:
How training
can best be delivered to secure effective learning.
How to
structure and design training sessions.
How
to make training sessions interesting, stimulating
and relevant.
