Attendees are shown the latest in interactive training programs and cutting-edge techniques for planning, preparation and keeping an audience engaged.
OVERVIEW
Turn Subject Matter Experts Into Confident Trainers
Knowing your subject does not automatically mean knowing how to train someone else in it.
Internal trainers are often chosen because they understand a system, process, product or area of expertise. The challenge is turning that knowledge into training that is structured, engaging and easy for other people to apply.
WeTrain’s Train the Trainer course gives employees practical techniques for designing better sessions, facilitating groups, maintaining engagement and helping participants learn.
The focus is on moving beyond simply presenting information and developing people who can genuinely train others. This distinction is a central part of WeTrain’s existing program.

Client Success
From Presenters to Trainers
Train the Trainer for CSIRO
CSIRO engaged WeTrain to deliver a two-day Train the Trainer workshop for employees responsible for training others.
The program focused on helping participants move beyond simply presenting information. They worked on making sessions more interactive, simplifying content and putting the needs of the learner at the centre of their training.
“She transformed us from ‘presenters’ to ‘trainers’.”
