One-to-one and Small Group Training

 

Thousands of professionals train every year with us, taking part in our short courses, qualifications and flexible learning programmes.

About the Course

Recommended for:


One-to-one and Small Group Training
is recommended for Managers, supervisors, team leaders and other specialists whose job involves delivering one-to-one and small group training in addition to their line or specialist functions.

Course overview:


Managers, supervisors, team leaders and specialists are increasingly thrown into the task of job training, with little guidance on how to do it effectively. One-to-one and Small Group Training will give you the confidence to know when it’s appropriate to use on-the-job training; and how to use a structured approach to plan, carry out and assess your own training sessions.

Course benefits:


One-to-one and Small Group Training guides you through the entire process of preparing and implementing both short one-to-one and small group training sessions. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident in your ability to analyse any gaps in performance; plan development strategies; select and develop learning methods; implement training; and provide expert support and evaluations.

One-to-One and Small Group Training
