Training Practice

About

Time:
The exercise in this module can be completed in about 115 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 140 minutes for this module.

Aims:
• To give participants an opportunity to practice training delivery; including debriefing exercises.
• To explore the importance of using relevant icebreakers and energisers to change energy levels in the training room.

Group Size:
This module can be used with groups of up to 20 participants, but a maximum of 10 participants is recommended.

Useful For:
Participants in a Train the Trainer programme.

You'll Need:
• 1 set of the Training Practice Cards.
• 1 A4 envelope for each participant (with their name on it).
• Enough Feedback Sheets for participants to give feedback to each of their fellow participants.
• The equipment required for participants to run the individual icebreakers (see the trainer's notes).

Notes:
Unlike most of our course modules, this one is designed to be run as several ‘mini sessions’ at different points in your training.

The timings in our summary sheet are based on 10 participants, each delivering their session individually. To work out an accurate time for your group:
• Allow 20 minutes to introduce the session and give participants time to prepare.
• Allow 10 minutes for each participant’s practice session.
• Allow 20 minutes at the end for discussion, review of feedback and action planning.

It is preferable for your participants to deliver their sessions solo, but for larger groups, or if time is an issue, you can put them in pairs.

This activity can be used in groups of up to 10 participants or 20 if you are allowing them to co-deliver (not recommended).
