Train The Trainer

Transform into a Learning Facilitator

The most powerful type of learning is not being taught what to do but learning how to find a solution on your own. A learning facilitator is therefore a trainer who does not operate according to the traditional concept of teaching, but who guides and helps students to learn on their own.

Our "Train The Trainer" program dives directly into the practical skills required to become an excellent facilitator, from the preparation and use of methodologies, classroom activities, use of technology, to verbal and nonverbal communication tips.

Program Objectives
By the end of the module, participants will be able to:

What do our clients have to say about our TTT program?

Uros Urosevic

"Thank you for a great course and hard work in supporting us during sessions in a well-organized manner and well-prepared overall course content.
Your great presentation style and facilitation skills gave us lots of opportunities to learn, explore and even go deeper in the topic between sessions as we were engaged and involved equally as a team. For me personally, this course was really enjoyable, and it was more than met my expectations."

Elena Ledonius

"The facilitation TTT by EHL, has not only met, but exceeded my expectations. The interactive and engaging nature has helped me learn from the facilitators, but also from the other participants. This course has improved my knowledge and skills as a facilitator and shifted my mindset to invest more in a learner focused approach. Thank you for considering my feedback."

Ionut Platon

"The TTT course, has changed my view about learning, especially about the method. Our role as facilitator it to present them (trainees) HOW to do it, and they will have the imagination free to make it as they consider. Using the tools (questions, apps, feedback…) the result will be amazing for both facilitator and trainees. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, it pushed my limits, and has created a new frame of learning in my mind.
Thank you!"
