Train the Trainer

Introduction to Adult Learning

We have to train them?

Many of the learners in our centres have not attended training since they were in high school.  For some people, this is not a fond memory.  Adults learn differently and have different learning expectations than students in a high school or post-secondary learning environment. To be an effective trainer, it is important that you understand how to create training programs that allow the adult learner to be successful. We will explore the fundamentals of adult learning to help you ensure the success of all the learners in your training sessions.

Learning Objectives:

· Describe the principles of Adult Learning
