TAP: Training Delivery for Experienced Trainers

The need for effective training has never been greater and trainers have never been under more pressure to prove their worth. This comprehensive three-day programme gives experienced trainers the knowledge and skills they need to deliver interactive, participative, and effective training.

Target Audience

This course is for trainers who have been in the role for 6 months or more. whether delivering virtually or face to face. It provides a way for you to formalise your skills and knowledge with a credible qualification. You do not need any previous qualifications in training.

Note: Because this is a fast-track course there is around 3 hours of evening work on days one and two.

Prerequisites

Please see course outline - 'Part One: Getting Started (pre-requisites)'

Objective

You will plan and deliver a training session that is evaluated against the TAP® training delivery assessment guidelines.

Assessment

The assessment is in two parts:

• Part one: feedback on your assessed session and action planning based on the feedback
• Part two: after the course, you will implement actions agreed with the trainer and have them signed off by your manager. This confirmation will be sent to QA.

QA will check the submission and once confirmed, will release the TAP® Learning Digital Badge in recognition of successful course completion and application of new skills.

Your TAP Training Delivery Skills digital badge is valid for 3 years.
