Training skills for Newport's experts.

Where can I do a Train the Trainer course near Newport?

Ascent delivers its two-day Train the Trainer course at the Llynfi Enterprise Centre in Maesteg, about 50–60 minutes from Newport via the M4, in-house at workplaces across Newport and Gwent, and live online. Places are £425 per delegate, with ReACT+ funding for eligible learners in Wales.

Newport is home to some big training operations people rarely think of as training operations. The Office for National Statistics, the Intellectual Property Office and HM Passport Office all bring large teams up to speed in the city, alongside Newport City Council, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and the University of South Wales. Add the region's semiconductor and advanced manufacturing cluster, where technical specialists are constantly training new people, and there are a lot of experts teaching without a method.

Train the Trainer gives them one. Over two days you'll learn how adults learn, design sessions around clear objectives, deliver and facilitate with confidence and evaluate the result, with three micro-teaches and structured feedback along the way.

Getting there from Newport.

  • By carAbout 42 miles, typically 50–60 minutes west along the M4 to Junction 36, then the A4063. Parking on site.
  • By trainChange at Cardiff Central for the direct hourly Maesteg service, which takes around 50 minutes.
