Training of Trainers Course

Our Training of Trainers Course has always been an integral part of UK-Med’s training. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, UK-Med members found themselves heavily involved in training staff and empowering national teams to improve their future responses to emergencies or outbreaks. UK-Med’s Register members come from a variety of backgrounds from clinicians to allied health professionals, so it’s vital for you to be equipped with the skills you need to confidently design, develop and deliver effective training solutions around the world.

By undertaking this course:

• You’ll develop skills to deliver training effectively and efficiently
• You’ll gain an understanding of learning and training methodologies, and how to design and plan training activities
• You’ll understand the importance of evaluating your training
• You’ll share your own knowledge and experience and draw on the knowledge and experience of your peers to adopt new approaches in training.

This course takes place online. These online modules will take three to four hours to complete, with additional resources for your own self-directed learning. This is followed by a live workshop which takes one day. The workshop includes real-life scenarios, discussions, case studies and group project work. We encourage peer learning and will draw on the broad range of experiences of our participants.

This course is open to all members of UK-Med’s register who have completed the Core Training Pathway. You may be new to training and learning methodologies and practice, or you may have some experience which you’ll be able to share in the group sessions. The course is open to those with all levels of humanitarian experience.

• Bloom’s taxonomy as a teaching tool
• Kolb’s cycle of experiential learning
• How to design and plan training activities
