Global specialists in skills development, People 1st International, has launched a brand-new Professional Certificate in Training Design and Delivery to enable SMEs to save money and deliver in-house training more effectively.
Responding to the challenges of learning and development in an increasingly hybrid working environment, the group, which trains course instructors all around the world, has tailored its latest programme to enable the design and delivery of in-house training via a blended learning approach.
In addition to updated course content relevant to the training landscape in today’s world, learners have the option to undertake the Certificate in Virtual Training, a specialist module in online training, which will provide invaluable insight on how to run virtual training sessions effectively.
By offering hands on experience as well as feedback from peers and a qualified expert, upon successful completion of the Professional Certificate in Training Design and Delivery, SMEs will be able to develop, deliver and evaluate training sessions aimed at a variety of groups and individuals to a professional standard.
Jane Rexworthy, Director of People 1st International, comments:
“The timing of the launch comes as employers face the dual challenges of rising costs and an increasingly fluid jobs market, with many working harder than ever to attract and retain talent.
“In respect of this, our experienced trainers will take participants, step-by-step, through everything they need to know to become a professional trainer – from setting objectives to creating engaging training content, delivery techniques, assessing learners and more.
“From moving and handling to data governance, learners will be equipped with the transferrable skills to design and deliver training on any topic, adding capacity and providing cost savings at time when many employers need it most.
“What’s more when combined with the Certificate in Virtual Training, the programme will enable trainers to translate the principles of good learning and development practice into a virtual environment as more and more of our work is done remotely.”
Margaret Rose-Reid of Rose-Reid training, an approved trainer for People 1st International comments:
“As an approved trainer for People 1st International train the trainer programmes for over 10 years, I’m excited to begin delivery of the new Professional Certificate in Training Design & Delivery programme and look forward to seeing the first successful participants complete the programme next month.”
