Introduction

This advanced Train-the-Trainer course is designed for experienced trainers who want to elevate their facilitation practice to a professional, evidence-based, and performance-driven standard. The program integrates Andragogy, Neuroscience-based learning, digital learning architecture, experiential facilitation, behavioral modeling, coaching psychology, and AI-enabled learning ecosystems to help trainers deliver transformative learning experiences.

Participants will learn to design high-impact, competency-based training, facilitate multimodal workshops, manage group dynamics, and evaluate training ROI using global frameworks such as Kirkpatrick, Phillips ROI, and the Learning Transfer Evaluation Model (LTEM).

Objectives

By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• Design advanced learning programs using learning engineering and cognitive load optimization.

• Facilitate training using neuro-facilitation techniques based on brain-based learning principles.

• Manage complex group dynamics and influence learner behavior using coaching and NLP-based communication.

• Integrate AI, digital learning tools, and blended learning strategies into training sessions.

• Conduct advanced learning needs analysis and align training with strategic business outcomes.

• Apply professional facilitation models for handling conflict, resistance, and difficult trainees.

• Evaluate training effectiveness using Kirkpatrick, Phillips ROI, CIPP Model, and LTEM.

• Build a trainer branding blueprint and professional development plan.
