Train-the-Trainer course

ABOUT

This ETDP-SETA accredited workshop will provide recognition for individuals who perform or intend to perform one-to-one training on the job. Formal recognition will enhance their employability and also provide a means to identify competent trainers or coaches.

The phrase "one-to-one training on the job", sometimes also referred to as "coaching", involves a process of working alongside individual learners/employees to improve their skills in a defined area of application (task). The trainer may provide training for any "task", in any performance area, but such training should be towards some defined performance standard. The performance standard could be in the form of internal company standards or unit standards. "Task" refers to a clearly defined activity, with achievable steps requiring the application of a discreet set of skills in a particular area.

For assessment against this unit standard:
