TRAIN THE TRAINER

Facilitators - Michael Ford, CFPIM, CSCP, CLTD and Joe Shedlawski, CPIM, CLTD
Purpose

The purpose of the Train the Trainer Workshop is to provide you with a successful and workable methodology that you can apply to any subject in which you may have to train people.  It is intended to enhance your professionalism and effectiveness as a trainer.

Training, Not Education

Please be aware that this is a matter of training, not education.  Training deals with the how to while education deals with the why.  Training results in observable/measurable behavior on the part of the learner.  This workshop is a hands-on, do-it-yourself, no-nonsense, intense experience.  It consists of two full days of training activities, as well as pre-workshop assignments.

Workshop participants will accomplish the following objectives:

• Write instructional objectives
• Formulate lesson plans to support the objectives
• Learn the four step training process
• Gain an understanding of the appropriate use of audio-visual aids
• Identify effective classroom layout
• Understand both formal and informal feedback mechanisms.
  
  

Whether you are a novice or experienced trainer, college professor, department manager, sales representative or anyone who communicates to an audience, this workshop is sure to provide value-added tips, tools and techniques that will improve your presentation skills!

The workshop will be held from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM Friday August 23 & Saturday August 24, at County College of Morris, Randolph, NJ. Register online at apics-gnj.org. Registration is $699 for all APICS members and $899 for non-members.
