Why Should You Attend Training from the Back of the Room?

Teaching others can be hard. Maybe you've been asked to train some colleagues or some new hires and are struggling with where to begin? Perhaps you've been a trainer for some years and are sure there is a better way? Wouldn't it be nice if you had a 4-step process and a toolkit that helped you engage your learners every step of the way? How great would it be if you could apply the science of learning to help your learners retain and use the knowledge they take from your training? Training from the BACK of the Room! gives you all of this and more.

During this 2-day course, you will learn how to apply Accelerated Learning and Instructional Design to create compelling, engaging and memorable learning experiences which your learners will rave about. Whether you are new to training or are an old hand, you will leave the course with ideas that will help your learners get the most out of learning with you.

What's in It for You?

Training from the BACK for the Room! explores the most current cognitive neuroscience about effective instruction, how the brain takes in, stores, retrieves and uses knowledge.

Training from the BACK of the Room (TBR) will help you:

• Design excellent course content
• Build high quality, engaging learning experiences
• Deliver training that your learners will rave about
• Set yourself up for successful training
