Overcome Budget Restrictions/Time Constraints and Get Educated

The training community is abuzz with phrases like "interactive" and "learner-focused." Bob Pike is a pioneer of this type of learning, what he coined "Creative Training Techniques" and what is now known as participant-centered methodology. While knowing you need to continuing sharpening your trainer's edge with education, how do you overcome time constraints and budget restrictions?

 

Attend Bob's Train-the Trainer Boot Camp Online to not only learn how to make your training more participative but also see it modeled. More than 125,000 trainers have already been through the original classroom workshop and their learners appreciate it!

 

This workshop, originally a two-day session is now available as four online modules of three hours each; not only will you still see and experience participant-centered learning, you will see how these can be done online! You may already be using online training or webinars; now see how you can create interaction, increase retention, and up the energy in your e-sessions while also keeping cost at a minimum and doing away with travel times. And the added benefit to the three-hour modules means you don't have to block as much time all at once for the training.

  • Do something for yourself; get refreshed and renewed as you see techniques you can use to help your learners walk away impressed with themselves and what they've learned and accomplished in your sessions.
  • Do something for your learners; discover how to incorporate these tactics and strategies into your workshops, even if your content is mandatory, to increase your participants' energy and enthusiasm for the topic, as well as their retention.
