This course has no formal examination or assessment. Instead, learners will develop and demonstrate their training skills through a series of practical exercises, interactive activities, coaching discussions and training delivery sessions completed throughout the programme. A key element of the course is a practical micro-teach session, where learners present a short training session and receive constructive feedback from both the facilitator and fellow delegates. This provides valuable opportunities to apply new techniques, build confidence and refine training delivery skills in a supportive environment. The practical activities are designed to reinforce learning and help delegates apply the full training cycle, including assessing learner needs, planning and preparing training, delivering engaging learning sessions and evaluating training effectiveness. Learners will also practise facilitation, questioning, coaching, observation and feedback techniques that can be applied immediately within the workplace.
