A Global ACT presentation: Fundamentals of Train the Trainer program

Even though the technological innovations have facilitated the education environment with electronic and digital modes of learning, an instructor continues to enjoy the status of being important and valued. One may vividly remember the ‘Chalk & Talk’ mode of delivering the lesson by the teachers to their students, a phenomenon of teaching that existed some 25 years ago. It could well be effective today as well! In the present day scenario, not only the knowledge and the subject matter expertise hold good for delivering a training program, but it is also the professionalism involved in delivering the professional training that counts too.

For an aspiring corporate trainer, it is very important to understand that the participants of the corporate training courses and programs are not the ‘students’, rather they are mature adults - experts in own respective fields and their purpose of attending the training is the value addition to self and enhancement of specific and identified skill sets to meet the requirements of their organization.

Hence, along with other learning fundamentals, the learning of adult teaching techniques is the topmost agenda of the training for many. The ‘Train the Trainer’ corporate training program presented by Global Academy for Consulting and Training or Global ACT is a benchmark program of the company that serves to the best purposes of preparing the upcoming training enthusiasts.

The certification program for the budding trainers is aimed to develop the elementary teaching and other professional skills including the adult learning techniques. It develops the mindset of a trainee to believe and act as a trainer during the program itself. The trainee observes the actions of the trainer, of self, and that of other fellow trainees and notes the key areas where the self or anyone else among-st the trainees feel either engaged, bored, or amused. The trainee then develops the vision of self as a future instructor.

The same certification program on development of an individual as a trainer offers the following learning modules:

• Principles of learning
• Planning and preparing ‘Lessons’ and ‘Modules’
• Methodologies adopted for ‘Instructor Training’
• Implementing learning and teaching resources effectively
• Course development on the whole
• Accessing and evaluating the ‘Progress’!

These modules are based on the fundamental theory of the existing subject matter expertise of the trainees. However, the same can be tailor-made to suit the best needs and requirements of the organizations. Global ACT has impaneled the best trainers for the job and hence, besides value-addition, one can really become well familiarized with the teaching standards that prevail in today’s era.

To know more on this and other corporate training programs one may send an e-mail to Global ACT or furnish the details of requirements at the company’s web page as well. 

How can an Outbound Training benefit the working professionals?

An outbound training uses a methodology of using outdoors locales as management tools for the effective learning of the identified participants. This mode of corporate training is widely used in the Western Countries and is fast gaining popularity in India as well.

Why is OUTBOUND TRAINING (OBT) required?

The outdoor environment and surroundings create opportunities for the best understanding and learning for the participants and enable them to stretch beyond their personal limitations and also be able to increase the stretching limits while performing together as a group.

The outbound trainer works on the principle of performing together as a unit, where every member contributes toward taking out the TEAM from the situations of wilderness i.e. tough situations! They get together for a cause, meet the challenges together, and take a stand for themselves.

The EFFECTIVENESS of an OBT program

The effectiveness of an OBT program can be measured through the following:

• In a calm, serene, and relaxed environment outside the routine office atmosphere and location, participants respond in a more unrestrained and reflective manner, thereby bringing the meaningfulness of the OBT program.

• The OBT program gives a perfect opportunity to the colleagues to gel well with other, which otherwise is elusive in their official work environment. 

• The OBT program allows the outbound trainer to rightly judge the highs and lows of the participants and prescribe suitable solutions for every participant.

Key Behavioral Areas where OBT program succeeds -

• Development of ‘Leadership Skills’
• Conflict resolution abilities
• Personal Effectiveness Skills
• Managerial Effectiveness Skills
• Garnering skills of ‘Change Management’
• Harnessing relationships/alliances management skills

A carefully designed and meticulously planned OBT program assures for the final objectives of the program to be met with. The professional training companies in India like Global Academy for Consulting and Training or Global ACT organize and conduct most effective need-based and specifically customized OBT training program based on exclusive team development training modules.
