Train The Trainer Course Five Day Masterclass

Five Day Training Intensive in London

This is our flagship Train The Trainer Course suitable for all training professionals.

Impact Factory trains its own trainers to become fabulous facilitators, so we think we know a thing or two about training trainers.

This programme is designed to develop or refresh the professional trainer's ability to run exciting and effective training programmes.

It doesn't matter what kind of training you have to deliver - interpersonal skills, sales, IT, technical skills, shop floor skills - this programme is all about how to get better at delivering brilliant training.

Here we offer people the opportunity to take photos, speak to camera about the course and about what they are taking away and the shape of their future plans. So, we'll close our party with celebratory music, cake and drinks, and exchanging contact details for further support and development.

All delegates will be issued with relevant hand-outs to remind them of the Train the Trainer Course work, including our memorable visual cue cards. Delegates will also be able to take away Impact Factory web cards, which will give them access to our extensive e-library of useful documents.
