Course description
Although it may appear to be simple, conducting a training session requires specific skills and knowledge of how people learn. Trainers who have taken the time to consider their own approaches, understandings, and skills will be better equipped to provide comprehensive, active and effective training courses.
The Training of Trainers (TOT) LPC training course is intended to engage master trainers in coaching new trainers that are less experienced with a particular topic or skill, or with training overall. The ToT course can build a pool of competent instructors who can then teach the material to other people.
