Training skills for Swansea's experts.

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

Ascent's two-day Train the Trainer course runs at the Llynfi Enterprise Centre in Maesteg, around 35–40 minutes' drive from Swansea via the M4, and in-house at workplaces across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Gower, or live online. It costs £425 per delegate, and ReACT+ funding is available for eligible learners.

Swansea's biggest employers are full of people who train others without ever having been trained to do it: operational leads at the DVLA in Morriston, ward educators across Swansea Bay University Health Board, staff at Swansea University, UWTSD and Gower College, and the engineers and technicians bringing new starters up to speed across the region's manufacturing and energy businesses.

Train the Trainer gives them the method behind good training. Over two days you'll cover how adults learn, how to build a session around clear objectives, how to deliver and facilitate with confidence, and how to evaluate whether it worked, with three micro-teaches and structured feedback so the skills stick.

Getting there from Swansea.

  • By carAround 30 miles, usually 35–40 minutes east along the M4 to Junction 36, then north on the A4063. Parking on site. For much of Swansea that's a shorter drive than central Cardiff.
  • By trainTake a mainline service from Swansea to Bridgend, then the hourly Maesteg line train, which takes around 22 minutes.
  • Prefer not to travel?We deliver in-house at your Swansea site or live online, with exactly the same content.
