Training skills for Wales's experts.

Where can I do a Train the Trainer course in Wales?

Ascent Training Wales runs a two-day Train the Trainer course at its venue in Maesteg, in the Llynfi Valley near Bridgend, delivers it in-house at workplaces anywhere in Wales, and runs it live online. It costs £425 per delegate, and people in Wales facing redundancy may be able to fund it through ReACT+.

Wales runs on people who teach other people. Across 22 local authorities, seven health boards, the Welsh Government, colleges, universities and thousands of SMEs, subject experts run inductions, toolbox talks, clinical updates and system training every week, usually without anyone having shown them how.

We're a Welsh training provider, and this course is built for that reality: practical, small-group and focused on the craft. 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.
