The course is designed based on a wide range of content from academia, our experience in course design & delivery and the feedback we receive from the training community who use our training materials. This has led to a system presented in this online course that you can easily apply and get immediate results.
What are the main benefits of this elearning course?
There are many. If we were to prioritise, here is the list:

- Teaching in a way that makes people feel they had the best trainer

- Make people learn long term

- Making people feel they want to come back and be taught by you again and again

- Mastery of the four cornerstones of training

At the end of the online course, when you have completed all lessons and components of the course including quizzes, you will receive a “Certificate of Completion” from Skills Converged.
Is this course the same as the book: Train the Trainer – The Art of Training Delivery?
No. The course starts by focusing on fundamentals such as facilitation training as we believe any trainer should know about them. In many areas the online course expands on the book with original content and is much more interactive much like what you experience in an instructor-led course. Topics such as how to structure a course, how to start a course following a systemic formula, how to establish credibility, learning styles, engagement sequence, body language and many others are all new content not present in the book and are designed specifically for this course.

In contrast, the book focuses on topics that are more suitable to be read in a book, such as various research and studies or theoretical aspects of why training should be done in a certain way. We aimed to use the online medium for what is good at, being interactive and more visual. In addition, we revisited each training topic that a trainer must be skilled at and analysed it to see how best it could be presented in an online course, irrespective of what is stated in the book.

The online course is designed with exercises, discussions and repetition at its core with an aim to help you learn, remember and apply the content.
How long is this course?
You can go through the online course at your own pace. It covers a similar amount of content to a 2-Day instructor-led course if you were to attend one in person. There are many exercises, discussion opportunities and quizzes, so it depends how quickly or slowly you go through the course.
Can I get a receipt/invoice for this course?
When you order online, an email receipt is automatically generated and sent to your email. For anything else please contact support.
Can I talk to someone to see if this course is for me?
Yes. If you would like more information, or if you would like to know how you can benefit from the course, then please contact support and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.

I truly enjoyed this course so far. It brings indeed various self-reflective memories into a trainer's mind which through simple principles and sequences you're able to auto-analyze the quality of your own training and own style, but most importantly being considerate of your audience needs and how to iterate your message to deliver knowledge successfully.
