Training for Excellence has conducted corporate On-site Train the Trainer workshops for clients in a wide range of industries for the past 15 years. We have also worked with numerous government departments and non-profit organizations. We know for a fact that regardless of the training topic and industry, participant-centered training can have a powerful impact on the learning outcome if properly executed.
Implementing just 2-3 learner-centered strategies in your session will make a difference, and the effect can be immediate and extraordinary. This is the kind of feedback we get from our past clients, and we have continually reinforced this with new clients.
OPEN ENROLLMENT COURSES
If you’re an independent training professional, an in-house trainer, or a Subject Matter Expert who is training part-time, you will find our Public Train the Trainer courses extremely helpful in taking your skills to the next level. You will learn how to orchestrate a dynamic, interactive training environment in which learners can truly shine, have fun, and learn at an accelerated pace.
BRAIN-BASED LEARNING
Not only will you learn cutting edge adult learning strategies, but also how the brain processes information, how to activate different parts of the brain, and how to deliver information and create meaningful activities that have proven to be effective in the field of cognitive neuroscience. In the Train the Trainer program, we go beyond adult learning theory and best practices, to explore, discover, and put into practical application advanced instructional strategies that yield phenomenal results. And best of all, these strategies are easy to incorporate into your training sessions.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND COACHING
Additionally, we have discovered a need among our clients for a workplace training program with a focus specifically on training and coaching employees in the field. The title of the program is “How To Provide Effective On-the-Job Coaching and Training.” The course curriculum is a savvy combination of how to conduct competent one-on-one training and employ proven coaching techniques, that together significantly enhance coach/learner communication, capabilities, and job performance.
PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING
For those who mostly do shorter presentations, rely on PowerPoint to communicate their message, and have a lot of information to cram into a brief time slot, we have good news. Attend our Presentation Skills course and learn not only sound, proven presentation strategies, but discover multi-sensory, brain-based presentation techniques that will make your presentations “sing.”
POWERPOINT DESIGN CONSULTING
If you need help with your PowerPoint presentations, we also offer PowerPoint design services as stand-alone consulting sessions, or they can be combined with our presentation skills coaching sessions. We will help you transform your current PowerPoint slides to a brain-friendly and visually stimulating format that is guaranteed to produce desired results.
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN SERVICES
Training managers and training directors who have attended our seminars sometimes look to us for instructional design consulting to ease the transition of incorporating Accelerated Learning into new or existing in-house training programs. We typically work in collaboration with subject matter experts and front-line trainers to develop and redesign the most important materials. After some time, our collaborators gain enough experience with the methodology and can continue the work independent of us. In the instructional design process, we cover information such as: Blooms taxonomy, Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels of evaluation, creating learning objectives, needs assessments, and building out curriculum planning sheets.
ADVANCE YOUR TRAINING SKILLS
Are you an independent trainer? Or is it just you and maybe one other person in your organization looking for professional development? If you wish to enroll in one of our public workshops, visit the Train the Trainer workshop schedule page. We invite independent professionals, managers, executives, front-line trainers, SME’s, teachers, and technical instructors to enroll in this program.
Training is a skill that needs to be honed. Most people who conduct training tend to teach the way they were taught, unless they have been shown otherwise. A typical training session consists of a lecture with an abundance of PowerPoint slides. We know that this format produces inferior outcomes. Training skills can sometimes be underrated and taken for granted. Often, trainers don’t know that they don’t know. But the proof is in the pudding. Unless you get extraordinary learning results in your programs, you know that there’s room for improvement. We encourage any form of professional development that helps you advance to the next level of training skills. We recommend that you check out our 2-day Train the Trainer curriculum and consider enrolling in one of our workshops.

TRAINING WITH NO BOUNDARIES
Training for Excellence is a Train the Trainer company with global clientele. Our instructional methodology is crossing cultural boundaries and we have found that anyone, in any country or industry, who needs to impart information and knowledge to one or more people, will gain a profound perspective on training when attending one of our program events.
TRAINING CAN BE ENERGIZING AND EMPOWERING
Have you ever attended a training that put you to sleep or at least made you tired? Probably more than once. Training can be energizing, fun, and lively if you know what to do. Regardless of the subject matter, our Train the Trainer classes unveil the secrets to creating a high energy, inspirational, and motivating training event.
When a training session is about to be embarked upon, one truth that is almost always overlooked is the fact that learners are typically not coming to a training prepared, ready, and receptive to learn. There’s a host of reasons for why this is the case. When you discover how to break down those barriers and get students/trainees into what we call “an optimal state for learning”, you will never backslide to old ways of doing things. It’s simply that powerful.
