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
Questions raised on the way to becoming a trainer
  • What competencies must a trainer possess and what challenges must he or she face?
  • What didactic know-how does a trainer need to convey specialist knowledge in an understandable and interesting way?
  • 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?
  • How is individual learning made possible and what are the prerequisites for learning in the group? 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 signature and lead it to great learning success?

Based on these questions, a concept has been created that enables prospective trainers to acquire sound basic trainer knowledge in 5 days. The Institute for International Communication e.V. (IIK Düsseldorf) is a spin-off of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHUD). Since 2002, the IIK has successfully offered train-the-trainer courses in German. The original curriculum was developed by Prof. Schwarzer and Dr. Koblitz at the Institute of Educational Science of HHUD. Since 2010, the IIK has also conducted the train-the-trainer workshops with freelance trainers and has continuously developed the seminar concept and adapted it to the new requirements of the training profession. In 2014, an English-language Train-the-Trainer course was offered at the IIK for the first time. In this way, the IIK aims to meet the growing demand from international participants and also to live up to its further education claim as an „Institut für Internationale Kommunikation“.
