Do you picture a typical training room as full of faces struggling to stay awake & repel the frontal assault of PowerPoint® lectures?

For more than two decades, The Bob Pike Group (BPG) has been working with the United States Military and dovetailing our workshops to fill their needs and help participants better apply the concepts to military applications. Because of this, we have customized our two-day train-the-trainer boot camp to focus specifically on those who work in or with the military, such as those doing on-base trainings for civilian employees.

With our military version of our Train-the-Trainer Boot Camp, you can transform your training and education. Spend two action-packed days at Bob Pike's Train-the-Trainer Boot Camp learning how to:

create powerful new openings for your training;
cut your preparation time by 50 percent;
use an eight-step process to transform your current courses into high impact learner-centered courses;
apply the latest adult learning theories to your design and delivery;
accelerate learning in special situations such as computer training and technical training;
create powerful new ways to demonstrate the results of your training; and
see and experience specific military examples and applications for the activities and techniques.

You can also contact us about sponsoring a boot camp which we can then even further customize for you. For more information on how we have worked with the military, read this article.
