TRAIN THE TRAINER COURSE (4hrs)

KN Services ‘Train the Trainer’ course comprises of a mixture of classroom power-point presentations and on-site demonstrations. Those attending will first be taken through the whole presentation which they will eventually be delivering, then the process is repeated to allow candidates to understand each section in detail and then, have chance to deliver sections of course to gain confidence in presentation techniques.
