Train the Trainer

 

An increasing list of workforce challenges, it is crucial that organisations can develop their staff to ensure that service delivery is maintained and improved.

With increasing competition in recruitment and additional regulatory and mandatory requirements, training your teams is vitally important to ensure that you are compliant and that your people are both capable and confident to achieve their goals and objectives.

Testimonial

We had three train the trainer sessions and a day on influencing with NHS Professionals Academy. Our trainer was engaging, considering all the varying needs of the group and gave individualised feedback and recommendations for improving delivery. It has changed how I deliver training. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to book more!
