Chapter 1 - Structuring the Training Session

Most training sessions have one or two basic purposes. They are designed either to inform or instruct, or sometimes both. When the main purpose is to inform the participants are usually presented with information, facts, knowledge or basic principles. This is often classroom-based training which has the advantages of scale and consistency, being able to put over a great deal of information to a large group of individuals at one time. 

In this chapter you will learn how to structure the training session.  

Chapter 2 - Guidelines For Running Successful Training Sessions

The information in this chapter is designed to assist trainers to present a polished and professional performance. These guidelines cover most aspects of the preparation needed and how to conduct training sessions successfully. These are intended as suggestions for trainers to help in preparing their own approach.  

Chapter 3 - Running A Great Course

It is important that the trainer sets out in a calm and confident way. Planning for a great introduction is an excellent way of establishing credibility with the group and calming presentation fears. In this chapter you will learn how to run a great course.
