Train the IT Trainer Essentials

Whether you’re a complete beginner to training, or simply looking for more formal support, this two-day course will give you your first opportunity to learn what makes training great. In line with the principles being taught, the course will itself be learner focused. You will get the benefit of Happy’s extensive knowledge of training and will also learn from their own experiences.

We know that you may not be running classroom training at the moment, so you may be interested in our remote learning workshops. We offer 3 workshops, tailored to your preferred platform.

These sessions will guide you through the features of each and allow you to facilitate interactive learning sessions. Currently, they are only available for online private bookings. Please get in touch for availability and pricing.
