Train the Trainer course in Cardiff.
Two practical days that turn Cardiff professionals into confident, structured trainers: adult learning, session design, delivery and evaluation, with three micro-teaches and feedback. Classroom on the direct Cardiff–Maesteg rail line, in-house at your Cardiff office, or live online.
Training skills for Cardiff's experts.
Where can I do a Train the Trainer course in Cardiff?
Ascent runs its two-day Train the Trainer course at the Llynfi Enterprise Centre in Maesteg, on the direct hourly train line from Cardiff Central (around 50 minutes), and delivers it in-house at workplaces across Cardiff or live online. Places are £425 per delegate, with ReACT+ funding for eligible learners.
Cardiff runs on people who teach other people. Policy teams onboarding new starters in Cathays Park, clinical educators at the University Hospital of Wales, professional services staff at Cardiff University and Cardiff Met, and the finance, legal and creative firms around Central Square. Most of them were never taught how to train. They were good at their job and handed a session to run.
This course fixes that in two days. You'll learn how adults actually learn, design a session around clear objectives, deliver it with confidence and check that it worked, practising all of it in three short micro-teaches with feedback from the trainer and your peers. Delegates from Cardiff University and the Welsh Government have already been through it.
