Principles of training. In this session, we review the approaches to learning and development and how these are implemented in the workplace.
Behavioural personality using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in a training context. All delegates undertake MBTI questionnaire and we discuss implementation in a training context.
Skills needed by trainers. We identify the skills needed by highly effective trainers to train others using the OPEN UP methodology.
We provide an overview of an effective training structure. Key elements are explained such as aim, objectives and learning outcomes that will aid delegates to create a correct training framework.
Describe effective questioning skills and answering techniques. Vital for effective training delivery; in this session, techniques are taught and practised to a high standard. This includes the use of open, pose, pause & pounce techniques and rhetorical questioning. Furthermore, advanced 4-part reasoning techniques are explained, demonstrated and practised to take skill sets to a new level.
Engagement techniques. We explain and demonstrate the ‘Throw the Monkey’ technique which engages delegates and provides trainers with opportunities to reflect and think in the dynamic environment.
Practise delivery using skills and techniques taught. A key element of this course is giving delegates the opportunity to practise what has been taught. This will improve confidence and reinforce the need for effective training skills.
Day Two Highlights
This day is about reinforcing what we learnt on day 1 and putting into practice the advanced skills taught. By the end of the session, delegate training skills will have improved significantly:
What was learnt yesterday? We consolidate the key skills learnt yesterday as a group activity using lesson delivery skills.
Dealing with nerves. This session looks at understanding why we get nervous and how to deal with nerves effectively including what is going on in our brains and how to create positive habits. Confidence and awareness will improve.
Use of visual aids. PowerPoint can be your best friend or your worst enemy. In this session, we explore what poor use of PowerPoint is like and offer some key tips to ensure it is used effectively. The use of the flipchart and whiteboard is also discussed with some key tips for using correctly.

What Clients Say
★★★★★ "Our group all got on superbly well! Ralph’s approach was personable, patient and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble for him. As well as group feedback, we had the opportunity for one to one feedback too which was hugely beneficial. Although I had some experience of facilitating training, I learnt skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my career." Caroline Day, One Medical Group.
★★★★★ "After the course had ended, I delivered a training session which received excellent feedback – something I attribute to the new skills I learned on the PTT course. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to colleagues and when I need further training, Target Training will be my first port of call. it was definitely the best training course I’ve ever been on!" Ruth Hawke, SYHA.
★★★★★ "Last week’s course was by far the best I have ever been on. I suppose before the start I had a feeling it was going to be like the PTTLS course we did, oh how I was wrong. I am so looking forward to putting into place the powerful skills you have taught me and for that I would like to thank you so very much." David Frodsham, Greenergy
