Crashkurs Train the Trainer : Description
The demands on trainers in adult education have changed considerably in recent years. The trainer is no longer a mere mediator of specialist knowledge but is seen more as a learning companion. Professional competence is on equal footing with personal, social and methodological skills in order to meet the quality requirements. The range of tasks includes organisation and pedagogy, the evaluation of educational measures as well as the continuous development of one's own potential and experience.
Content of Train the Trainer Workshop
Concept
The path toward the training profession raises many questions- What are a trainer’s competencies and challenges?
- What didactic know-how does a trainer need to deliver technical knowledge?
- What methods are effective in manifesting knowledge long-term and guaranteeing transfer into practice?
- How do you design a successful training course and what types of media are required for this?
- What are the possibilities to enable individual learning in an adult training environment? How can the trainer accompany personal development processes?
- What will the training landscape look like in the future?
- In other words: What does the trainer‘s trade look like? What tools can he or she use to design training offerings with a personal touch and maximal impact?
Along these questions a 5-days concept was developed which allows prospective trainers to acquire the basics and thereby create a solid trainer foundation.
