This course includes interactive online learning which will enhance your learning experience. Participants will also benefit from attending a 1-2-1 session with faculty prior to the face-to-face day, to help you further prepare for a practice training session.

Training the Trainers has been designed specifically for clinicians and the unique environment they work within. Every aspect of this multi-modal course has been developed by clinicians and educators for clinical educators. Other, generic teaching skills courses do not compare.
