In some cases it can be appropriate to ask an existing employee to become a trainer because they already have experience in the field and knowledge of how your business operates.
However, the most important requirement for ensuring effective learning is having a good trainer. After all, the trainer must be able to relate the training material to your business.

To equip your Employee-Trainer with the tools and skills he/she needs to turn your training into a successful investment for your company, EEA offers a tailored in-house Trainer Workshop.
This individual on-site course will ensure that training design, methods and materials used by your Employee-Trainer are up to date and effective as well as perfectly in line with your training goals.

	Conducting training needs analyses
	Course and session design/planning
	Evaluation, monitoring and feedback skills
	Measuring the effectiveness of training
	Setting up support for employees after training
	Training & improving presentation/speaking skills
	Implementing principles of training methodologies
	Understanding and handling the different ways people learn
	Creating/finding effective training aids/materials

EEA Trainer Workshop usually involves attendance of 2 training days spread over a week, with some additional research and training session preparation required between the two days. However, length and content of the program can be customized to suit your requirements.

Though almost anyone can learn, it is not true that everyone can teach. There are a number of 'natural' skills that a good trainer must possess:

	Patience is the most critical skill for teaching and will support the long-term empowerment of individuals or the organization.
	Facilitation skills: Given the diversity of skill levels and ability in a training class the ability to work with a group of trainees is an important skill for the trainer to possess
	Ability to teach people at different skill levels: Using analogies that are relevant to student's everyday life and inserting generous doses of humor are invaluable ways to make students feel comfortable.

Last but not least, Credibility is a key qualification of each trainer. Your Employee-Trainer should master the language he teaches.
