Enjoy learning with experts

Most in-house trainers we meet never chose training as a career path. They were good at their job, so someone handed them a slide deck and said, "You know this stuff...you can teach it." And because they are bright, capable people, they get by. Things run. Feedback is polite. Nobody complains too loudly.

But "getting by" quietly costs your organisation money. Every workshop that drifts, every learner who switches off, every course that creates a warm glow for a week and then nothing else.

That is budget spent on activity, not change. Your HR plans, your leadership pipeline and your culture change programmes all lean on one thing: trainers who can genuinely move people from where they are to where the business needs them to be.

This 2-day Train the Trainer programme gives your in-house trainers the professional toolkit external providers charge a premium for. The research-informed design skills, the facilitation craft and the evaluation discipline that turn courses into results.

- Train the Trainer Course Outline

Learner Focus:

How People Really Learn: The practical psychology of adult learning - what triggers engagement, remember and apply, and the classic mistakes that switch them off.

Begin With the End in Mind: Translate business goals into clear learning outcomes, so every course you design is built backwards.

The Learning Needs Detective: Quick methods for identifying what learners really need, before you design a single slide.

Structure for Energy & Impact: Design sessions that open strong, build momentum, keep attention, and end with commitment to act.

The Engagement Toolkit: A practical armoury of questions, activities, stories, discussions and challenges you can drop into any topic to keep every learner involved.

Facilitator Presence: Voice, body language, positioning and pace - the small habits that build credibility and hold a room, and the ones that quietly destroy it.

Practice Lab: The First Five Minutes: Each trainer delivers a live opening segment, applies instant feedback and re-runs it - The fastest way to learn training is to train.

Day 1 Review & Day 2 Preparation: Self assessment and peer review discussion to refine understanding of day 1 content, principles and tools. Getting ready for Day 2.

5 Powerful Ways to Close – Create a close that inspires action and makes your presentation positively impactful.

How To Use Stories & Props For Impact – The right approach makes complex ideas simple and turn dry information memorable.

Brain-Friendly Design: Accelerated learning principles and tools that pack more learning into less time - less telling, more doing, much better results.

The Difficult Delegate Toolkit: Confident, respectful tools for the dominator, the sceptic, the silent one and the smartphone addict - without confrontation.

Reading & Steering the Room: Spot energy dips, disinterest and unspoken resistance early, and adjusting your delivery in the moment to bring the room back to engaged.

Training in the Virtual World: Adapt your facilitation for online and hybrid delivery environments, building interaction, energy and connection through a screen.

Facilitation Feedback Formula: Give and receive feedback that builds skill rather than bruises confidence, & build a culture of ongoing improvement in your training team.

Practice Lab: The Full Session: Each trainer designs and delivers a complete training segment, with peer and facilitator feedback (the proof of competence).

Making Learning Stick: Post-course reinforcement strategies that transfer learning back into the workplace, so results show up where it matters most.

Proving Your Value: Practical evaluation approaches that demonstrate the impact of training in language that resonates with senior stakeholders.

"I unreservedly recommend Summit to leaders wishing to improve their public speaking."

- How the Train the Trainer Course Helps

Every trainer on the programme will be able to: •

  • Design Training That Actually Changes Behaviour: Build courses around how adults really learn - not how we were taught at school, so learners leave with new habits, not just new notes.

  • Hook Any Room in the First Five Minutes: Open a session so learners lean in rather than log off, using proven attention and motivation triggers from the very first minute.

  • Facilitate With Confidence and Presence: Command the room (in person or online) with purposeful body language, voice and energy, even with sceptical, senior or reluctant groups.

  • Handle Any Group Dynamic: Steer difficult participants, silence dominated ones, and energise flat rooms with a flexible toolkit of facilitation moves.

  • Make Learning Stick: Apply the science of memory and reinforcement so your courses create lasting change instead of a nice day out of the office.

  • Ask Questions That Unlock Thinking: Use powerful questioning and active listening to turn passive audiences into engaged co-creators of their own learning.

  • Deliver Engaging Virtual and Hybrid Sessions: Adapt their facilitation style so online training is just as interactive and impactful as the face-to-face version.

  • Prove the Value of Training to the Business: Evaluate learning impact convincingly, so you can show your HR investment paying off in language your board understands.
