Providing Train the Trainer Courses to Leading UK Organisations



What is Train the Trainer?

Train the Trainer is a structured way to build the skills and confidence to deliver effective training. You'll learn how to design a session, engage learners, explain things clearly and check they've understood; so your training is remembered and applied, not forgotten by Friday.

A good train-the-trainer course teaches you how to:

    • Plan training with a clear purpose and outcomes
    • Explain ideas simply and keep people engaged
    • Handle different learning styles and personalities
    • Keep learners motivated with proven techniques
    • Evaluate learning so it leads to real improvement

    Most of the people we teach did not set out to be trainers. They are managers, supervisors, engineers, nurses, technicians and subject experts who were asked to bring someone else up to speed, and found that knowing the job and being able to teach it are two different things.

    Our Train the Trainer closes that gap. Train the Trainer is not a job title and it is not something you need permission to pursue, it is a set of skills, and they can be taught.

    That's the difference between training that ticks a box and training people actually remember. It's what we've built our reputation on, and it's why our courses are rated 5 stars on Trustpilot and Google.


    Dual accredited: ILM and CPD

    Our Professional Training Techniques (PTT) Train the Trainer course is accredited by both the Institute of Leadership and Management and The CPD Standards Office. You leave with two certificates, not one.

    The ILM accreditation is a nationally recognised mark that HR teams and employers know and trust. It is awarded on assessed performance; you are marked on training you actually deliver in the room, not on a portfolio or a written test.

    The CPD accreditation means the course has been independently reviewed against CPD Standards Office criteria and the hours count towards the annual requirement set by your professional body. The two-day format carries 12.5 CPD hours, and the three-day format 18.75.

    If you belong to a professional body such as CIPD, an engineering institution, or a health or finance regulator, that second certificate does real work. Most bodies require you to log a set number of hours each year and evidence where they came from. This gives you that evidence without having to argue the case yourself.

    Target Training Associates is an accredited CPD Standards Office provider, provider number 23250.


  • ILM & CPD accredited — a nationally recognised qualification valued by HR teams and employers across every sector.
  • Led by experienced master trainers — practical, hands-on techniques you can use straight away.
  • 5-star rated on Trustpilot and Google, and trusted by 200+ UK organisations.
  • Updated for 2026 to reflect the latest UK training standards including the introduction of AI.

Why Choose Our ILM Train the Trainer Courses

Our trainers were all A1-categorised Royal Air Force instructors, the RAF’s highest instructor grade, with formal course design and quality assurance roles behind them. Between them, over 90 years of training experience. That is who teaches you, and it is why our courses are rated 5.0 on Trustpilot and Google.

Our courses are built around doing, not watching. You'll practise in a supportive group, get honest feedback you can actually use, and leave with practical techniques ready to put to work the very next day, along with the confidence to deliver them well.
