Train the Trainer Online Courses: Do they work?

The course was very informative and I really enjoyed all contents – I have learnt so much over the past few days. The trainer is fantastic and this has definitely helped with my confidence. Great communication and prompt delivery with details of the course. Exercises were very helpful.

I feel I can go into my new role confident with new skills to help me become a better trainer. Strengths were the presentation skills – I have come on so much since day one.

I love that the course is now available online – and don’t see any ways to improve it. [Virtual training] was different experience and I would be keen to see more online courses going forward. Overall it was an excellent experience

Absolutely brilliant. My Impression regarding this course is absolutely positive. The course was well structured and well organized, easy to follow also from someone who is not native in English. Programme and organization were absolutely perfect and really clear content.

I really enjoyed all the exercises and also I’ve realized how the people are different in organization and preparation. From that training you can see that the trainer is a person who has a lot of experience and it was a real pleasure listening to her and also the way she was delivering the training was really easy and simple.

First course with Professional Development. Really appreciate for what you did and I will recommend this course at who is interested to be a trainer. I was really impressed by the trainer, especially her organization online was very successful as I was involved from the first moment until the end of the course. I really enjoyed all 4 days.

The format of the course was excellent. The trainer's pace was perfect and the breaks were timed to perfection. She is an amazing trainer and her obvious experience really was evident throughout. For me personally, the course was perfect so I don’t have any suggestions as to how it could be improved.

I was apprehensive at first doing both the Training Delivery and Evaluation and Training Needs Identification & Design courses back-to-back virtually. However I didn't need to worry as the training courses were so well organised. I had the same tutor for both courses and she was brilliant. She made all the trainees feel at ease with the pace of the training perfectly timed. Although, our tutor and my fellow trainees didn't actually physically meet, it didn't really matter as we all got to know each other and we even set up WhatsApp groups at the end of both courses so we could keep in touch. I wouldn't have a problem doing a virtual training course again after my positive experience with Professional Development.

I found the course was delivered at a good pace, instructor very helpful, course content relevant to my current position. I was nervous about the virtual delivery as my computer skills are basic but found it easy to use and the trainer engaged with everyone throughout the course and the scheduled breaks were ideal in length to allow us adequate time away from computer screen.

I can’t think of anything to improve. It was my first virtual course and it was a learning experience to see how the trainer delivered the course so professionally.

There was a warm and welcoming environment, great group discussions and everyone participated. Great pace. I always remember the class discussions and the other participants' inputs.

So, I was pleasantly surprised with the virtual delivery format and how well it facilitated both class discussions and group breakout sessions. At times it felt like I was in the classroom.
