Training skills for Bridgend's experts.

Where is the Train the Trainer course in Bridgend?

The course runs at Ascent's own venue, the Llynfi Enterprise Centre on Heol Ty Gwyn Industrial Estate, Maesteg, CF34 0BQ, around 9 miles and 20 minutes north of Bridgend town. It's two days, £425 per delegate, with ReACT+ funding for eligible learners.

If you work in Bridgend, this is the most convenient Train the Trainer course you'll find. It runs in our own training room in the county borough, not a hired hotel suite in the city, so you get a short journey, parking on site and a small group of four to twelve.

Bridgend's employers rely on people who pass their skills on: council teams, lecturers at Bridgend College, clinical educators at the Princess of Wales Hospital, officers and staff at South Wales Police headquarters, and the engineering and manufacturing teams on Bridgend Industrial Estate and in Pencoed. Over two days, with three micro-teaches and feedback, this course gives them the method behind training that works.
