Description
1. Description
This CPD program is designed to equip trainers, facilitators, subject matter experts, supervisors, and learning professionals with a comprehensive understanding of adult learning principles and effective training delivery techniques.
Over two days, participants will explore the foundations of adult learning, instructional design, facilitation skills, learner engagement strategies, assessment methods, and training evaluation techniques. The course combines theory, practical exercises, group discussions, and trainer-led activities to develop the competencies required to design, deliver, and evaluate impactful learning experiences.
Adult learners bring valuable experience, skills, and expectations to the learning environment. Effective trainers must therefore understand how adults learn, how to motivate participation, and how to create learner-centered experiences that maximize knowledge retention and skill development.
