Train the Trainer Online Course

Stepping into a training role without formal preparation can be challenging—for both the trainer and the trainee. Train the Trainer is an accessible, practical online course designed to give new trainers the confidence, structure, and foundational skills they need to train effectively from day one.

This 8-hour asynchronous online class introduces essential concepts in adult learning, communication, evaluation, and documentation. While it is not a replacement for a full Communications Training Officer (CTO) program, it serves as a strong starting point for individuals who are new to training, assigned unexpectedly, or required to train before attending a formal trainer course.
