Train the Trainer


What is Train the Trainer?

The Train the Trainer model is used in many types of work and educational environments, including laboratories, schools, hospitals and the corporate sector. This type of training has become ubiquitous because of how user-friendly and intuitive is can be. 

In a “Train the Trainer” program, a subject matter expert trains a person or a group of people who will then go on to train others using the same model when they return to their workplace. 

Advantages of this model include a faster, more effective training environment. You can train a team of trainers who will use the same methods to then train the next group of trainers. And by learning using a team-based approach, the training becomes dynamic and self-sustaining.
