Plan and Deliver Training Sessions SCQF Level 6

What is special about this course?

This course has been designed to give an initial qualification to those with limited or no prior experience of planning and delivering training and has been specifically designed for use in Care settings. This fun and interactive course will enable you to develop the confidence and skills to effectively share your knowledge with others.
You should have vocational expertise or subject knowledge and your job role should include the training of others in small groups of around 4-7 learners in work-related learning settings. 
It is also suitable for anyone aspiring to a training role, or who expects to have some responsibility for training as part of a future job role.
 

Entry requirements

No specific qualifications are required prior to training, but good communication skills and a command of a level of English that will allow effective learning. 

On completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Design and deliver effective interactive training sessions to small groups of people.
  • Identify training activities and write objectives which reflect real practice and include appropriate information.
  • Carry out interactive training sessions at a pace, and in a sequence, that maximises learning for your participants.
  • Provide constructive feedback to learners following practice sessions.

During the course you’ll practice delivering different interactive training sessions. Topics for these training sessions should be chosen before the course and agreed by your Line Manager. You should have experience and up to date knowledge in the subject area, and it may be useful to have access to support or resource material such as company procedures, policies, or reference books to be able to develop training notes.

How will I be assessed?

  • You’ll be asked to deliver two 25-25-minute sessions which your lecturer will attend. 
  • You’ll also be asked to attend other class members’ sessions and provide observations and feedback. 
  • You will submit a written or oral assessment consisting of approximately 400 words. 
  • Finally, you’ll be asked to reflect on the training sessions and feedback you received and propose 

How will I study my course?

    Self-guided study materials will be available for you online so that you can progress at your own pace.  You’ll be encouraged to use the interactive discussion boards with classmates and there will be plenty of fun activities along the way.
